Abstract excerpt
Candida boidinii Pmp20 (CbPmp20), a protein associated with the inner side of peroxisomal membrane, belongs to a recently identified protein family of antioxidant enzymes, the peroxiredoxins, which contain one cysteine residue. Pmp20 homologs containing the putative peroxisome targeting signal type 1 have also been identified in mammals and lower eukaryotes. However, the physiological function of these Pmp20...
