Abstract excerpt
The mammalian 1-Cys peroxiredoxin (Prdx6) is a unique member of the peroxiredoxin family of proteins capable of protecting cells from metal-catalyzed oxidative damage. We recently identified Prdx6 as a candidate for the quantitative trait locus Ath1, a gene responsible for a difference in diet-induced atherosclerosis susceptibility in mice. To investigate the role of Prdx6 in atherosclerosis, we generated...
