Abstract excerpt
A family of antioxidant proteins, the peroxiredoxins, serve two purposes, detoxification of reactive oxygen species and cellular signaling. Among the three peroxiredoxins of Caenorhabditis elegans (CePrx1-3), CePrx2 was found to have a very unusual expression pattern, restricted to only two types of pharyngeal neurons; namely, the single pharyngeal interneuron I4 and the sensory interneuron I2. CePrx1 and...
