Abstract excerpt
Reactive oxygen species, especially hydrogen peroxide, are important in cellular signal transduction. However, excessive amounts of these species damage tissues and cells by oxidizing virtually all important biomolecules. Peroxiredoxin 6 (PRDX6) (also called antioxidant protein 2, or AOP2) is a novel peroxiredoxin family member whose function in vivo is unknown. Through immunohistochemistry, we have determined...
