Full name: peroxiredoxin 2

Gene type: protein coding

RefSeq status: VALIDATED

Also known as: Band-8; NkefB; PRP; PrxII; TDX1; TPx; TPx-B; TR; TSA; Tdpx1; Torin

Summary: Predicted to enable thioredoxin peroxidase activity. Involved in positive regulation of blood coagulation and removal of superoxide radicals. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including negative regulation of NF-kappaB transcription factor activity; regulation of signal transduction; and respiratory burst involved in inflammatory response. Located in mitochondrion and myelin sheath. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; limb; reproductive system; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human PRDX2 (peroxiredoxin 2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
