Background: Peroxiredoxin 5

Peroxiredoxin 5 (Prx-5; also known as AOEB166 and thioredoxin reductase) is a 22 kDa, widely expressed mitochondrial antioxidant enzyme that belongs to the a  typical 2-Cys class of the TSA/ahpC family of peroxiredoxins. The mouse precursor molecule is 210 amino acids (aa) in length and contains an N-terminal 48 aa mitochondrial targeting (signal) sequence and a 162 aa mature enzyme that shows an NES between aa 54?63, and a peroxisome targeting motif at aa 208?210. There are two catalytic cysteines, one at Cys96, and another at Cys200 of the precursor. Prx-5 is a monomer that is found in mitochondria, cytosol, nucleus and peroxisomes. It is known to reduce H  ₂O  ₂ and alkyl hydroperoxides. Two potential splice forms are reported. One is 17 kDa in size and shows an alternative start site at Met49, while a second shows a 19 aa substitution for aa 83?102. Mouse Prx-5 is 78% and 90% aa identical to human and rat Prx-5, respectively.
