Abstract excerpt
Peroxiredoxin (Prx) play vital parts in oxidative stress belonging to a cellular antioxidant protein family. Natural killer enhancing factor (NKEF) is a member of the Prx family, which is newly defined. In addition to antioxidant activity, NKEF also can protect DNA from oxidative damage. In order to study immune defense mechanism of NKEF in teleost, NKEF-A gene of miiuy croaker (Miichthys miiuy) was cloned and...
