Description
Peroxiredoxin-5, also known as Alu corepressor 1, Antioxidant enzyme B166, Liver tissue 2D-page spot 71B, Peroxisomal antioxidant enzyme, Thioredoxin peroxidase PMP20, Thioredoxin reductase, PRDX5 and ACR1, is cytoplasm protein that belongs to the peroxiredoxin 2 family. Peroxiredoxin-5/PRDX5 reduces hydrogen peroxide and alkyl hydroperoxides with reducing equivalents provided through the thioredoxin system. Peroxiredoxin-5/PRDX5 is involved in intracellular redox signaling. The Peroxiredoxins/Prx are a family of 25 kDa peroxidases that can reduce H2O2 using an electron from thioredoxin (Trx) or other substances. The mammalian Peroxiredoxins/Prx family is divided into six groups (PRDX1, PRDX2, PRDX3, PRDX4, PRDX5, PRDX6) on the basis of homology of amino acid sequences. They are located in the cytosol and play a role in the cell signaling system. All six mammalian peroxiredoxins are expressed in the lung. Peroxiredoxins/Prx is overexpressed in breast cancer tissues to a great extent suggesting that Peroxiredoxins/Prx has a proliferative effect and may be related to cancer development or progression
