Background
This gene encodes a member of the peroxiredoxin family of antioxidant enzymes, which reduce hydrogen peroxide and alkyl hydroperoxides. The encoded protein may play an antioxidant protective role in cells, and may contribute to the antiviral activity of CD8(+) T-cells. This protein may have a proliferative effect and play a role in cancer development or progression. Four transcript variants encoding the same protein have been identified for this gene.

Function
catalytic activity:2 R'-SH + ROOH = R'-S-S-R' + H(2)O + ROH.,function:Involved in redox regulation of the cell. Reduces peroxides with reducing equivalents provided through the thioredoxin system but not from glutaredoxin. May play an important role in eliminating peroxides generated during metabolism. Might participate in the signaling cascades of growth factors and tumor necrosis factor-alpha by regulating the intracellular concentrations of H(2)O(2).,induction:Constitutively expressed in most human cells; is induced to higher levels upon serum stimulation in untransformed and transformed cells.,miscellaneous:Inactivated upon oxidative stress by overoxidation of Cys-52 to Cys-SO(2)H and Cys-SO(3)H. Cys-SO(2)H is retroreduced to Cys-SOH after removal of H(2)O(2), while Cys-SO(3)H may be irreversibly oxidized.,miscellaneous:The active site is the redox-active Cys-52 oxidized to Cys-SOH.
