Gene information for PRDX1 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID5052
Official gene symbolPRDX1
Full nameperoxiredoxin 1
Aliases,MSP23,NKEFA,PAG,PAGA,PAGB,PRX1,PRXI,TDPX2,
Gene summaryThis gene encodes a member of the peroxiredoxin family of antioxidant enzymes, which reduce hydrogen peroxide and alkyl hydroperoxides. The encoded protein may play an antioxidant protective role in cells, and may contribute to the antiviral activity of CD8(+) T-cells. This protein may have a proliferative effect and play a role in cancer development or progression. Three transcript variants encoding the same protein have been identified for this gene.
