    basic FUNCTION
  • peroxynitrite reductase, playing an antioxidant protective role in various tissues under nonpathologic conditions and during inflammatory processes
  • reducing hydrogen peroxide and alkyl hydroperoxides with reducing equivalents provided through the thioredoxin system
  • protecting mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) from oxidative attacks
  • may play an important role in mitochondrial genome stability
  • thiol-specific antioxidant protein that is highly expressed in cancer cells (Shiota 2008)
  • might protect cells from oxidative stress (Shiota 2008)
  • transcriptional corepressor, as a peroxisomal/mitochondrial antioxidant protein, and as an inhibitor of TP53-dependent apoptosis (Kropotov 2006)
  • constitutively expressed PRDX5 gene plays an important role in protecting the genome against oxidation and may also be involved in the control of transcription of noncoding DNA (Kropotov 2006)
