Peroxiredoxin-6 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the PRDX6 gene. [5] [6] It is a member of the peroxiredoxin family of antioxidant enzymes.

Contents

Function

The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the thiol-specific antioxidant protein family. This protein is a bifunctional enzyme with two distinct active sites. It is involved in redox regulation of the cell; it can reduce H(2)O(2) and short chain organic, fatty acid, and phospholipid hydroperoxides. It may play a role in the regulation of phospholipid turnover as well as in protection against oxidative injury. [6]

Model organisms

Model organisms have been used in the study of PRDX6 function. A conditional knockout mouse line, called Prdx6tm1a(EUCOMM)Wtsi [11] [12] was generated as part of the International Knockout Mouse Consortium program — a high-throughput mutagenesis project to generate and distribute animal models of disease to interested scientists — at the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute. [13] [14] [15]

Male and female animals underwent a standardized phenotypic screen to determine the effects of deletion. [9] [16] Twenty five tests were carried out on mutant mice but no significant abnormalities were observed. [9]

Peroxiredoxins are a ubiquitous family of antioxidant enzymes that also control cytokine-induced peroxide levels and thereby mediate signal transduction in mammalian cells. The family members in humans are PRDX1, PRDX2, PRDX3, PRDX4, PRDX5, and PRDX6. The physiological importance of peroxiredoxins is indicated by their relative abundance. Their function is the reduction of peroxides, specifically hydrogen peroxide, alkyl hydroperoxides, and peroxynitrite.

Conserved oligomeric Golgi complex subunit 2 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the COG2 gene. Multiprotein complexes are key determinants of Golgi apparatus structure and its capacity for intracellular transport and glycoprotein modification. Several complexes have been identified, including the Golgi transport complex (GTC), the LDLC complex, which is involved in glycosylation reactions, and the SEC34 complex, which is involved in vesicular transport. These 3 complexes are identical and have been termed the conserved oligomeric Golgi (COG) complex, which includes COG2.
