Structural highlights
Function
PRX2_POPTR Thiol-specific peroxidase that catalyzes the reduction of hydrogen peroxide and organic hydroperoxides to water and alcohols, respectively. Can reduce H(2)O(2) and short chain organic, fatty acid, and phospholipid hydroperoxides. Plays a role in cell protection against oxidative stress by detoxifying peroxides.[1] [2]
