Summary
The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the thiol-specific antioxidant protein family. This protein is a bifunctional enzyme with two distinct active sites. It is involved in redox regulation of the cell; it can reduce H(2)O(2) and short chain organic, fatty acid, and phospholipid hydroperoxides. It may play a role in the regulation of phospholipid turnover as well as in protection against oxidative injury. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

| Catalytic Activity | 2 glutathione + H(2)O(2) = glutathione disulfide + 2 H(2)O. |
| Catalytic Activity | 2 R'-SH + ROOH = R'-S-S-R' + H(2)O + ROH. |
| Function | Involved in redox regulation of the cell. Can reduce H(2)O(2) and short chain organic, fatty acid, and phospholipid hydroperoxides. May play a role in the regulation of phospholipid turnover as well as in protection against oxidative injury. |
| Interaction | P29991:- (xeno); NbExp=3; IntAct=EBI-2255129, EBI-8826747; P09211:GSTP1; NbExp=2; IntAct=EBI-2255129, EBI-353467; |
| Miscellaneous | Irreversibly inactivated by overoxidation of Cys-47 (to Cys-SO(3)H) upon oxidative stress. |
| Miscellaneous | The active site is the redox-active Cys-47 oxidized to Cys-SOH. Unlike 2-Cys peroxiredoxins, PRDX6 conserves only this peroxidatic cysteine. To regenerate and activate the enzyme, the oxidized form is directly reduced to cysteine by glutathione and not thioredoxin. |
| Similarity | Belongs to the AhpC/TSA family. Rehydrin subfamily. |
| Similarity | Contains 1 thioredoxin domain. {ECO |
| Subcellular Location | Cytoplasm {ECO |
| Subunit | Homotetramer. Interacts with GSTP1; mediates PRDX6 glutathionylation and regeneration. May interact with HTR2A (By similarity). Interacts with APEX1 and STH. May interact with FAM168B. {ECO |
