Description: | PRDX6 Protein, a thiol-specific peroxidase, plays a vital role in cellular defense against oxidative stress. It catalyzes the reduction of hydrogen peroxide and various organic hydroperoxides to water and alcohols. This multifunctional enzyme can reduce H(2)O(2) and short-chain organic, fatty acid, and phospholipid hydroperoxides. Additionally, PRDX6 acts as an acyl-CoA-dependent lysophospholipid acyltransferase, converting lysophosphatidylcholine (LPC) into phosphatidylcholine (PC), with a preference for LPC and palmitoyl CoA as substrates. PRDX6 Protein, Human (His) is the recombinant human-derived PRDX6 protein, expressed by E. coli, with N-6*His labeled tag. The total length of PRDX6 Protein, Human (His) is 224 a.a., with molecular weight of 30-33 kDa. |
