peroxiredoxinlike
Peroxiredoxinlike is a protein family that shares structural and functional similarities with the larger peroxiredoxin (Prx) family of antioxidant enzymes. While peroxiredoxins are well-established players in cellular defense against reactive oxygen species (ROS), the exact roles and significance of peroxiredoxinlike proteins are still under investigation. They are found in a wide range of organisms, from bacteria to eukaryotes, suggesting an ancient evolutionary origin and diverse functions.
Structurally, peroxiredoxinlike proteins often contain a conserved cysteine residue within their active site, which is crucial
Research into peroxiredoxinlike proteins has revealed potential involvement in various cellular processes beyond simple antioxidant defense.
