Abstract excerpt
The dual-functioning antioxidant enzyme peroxiredoxin VI (Prdx6) detoxifies lipid peroxides particularly in biological membranes, and its peroxidase function is activated by glutathione S-transferase Pi (GSTP). The GSTP gene is polymorphic in humans, with the wild-type GSTP1-1A (Ile105, Ala114) and three variants: GSTP1-1B (Ile105Val, Ala114), GSTP1-1C (Ile105Val, Ala114Val), and GSTP1-1D (Ile105, Ala114Val). The...
