Gene:
methionine sulfoxide reductase A
Gene ID:
197096
Symbol:
MSRA
Species:
1000
Description:
This protein is ubiquitous and highly conserved. It carries out the enzymatic reduction of methionine sulfoxide to methionine. Human and animal studies have shown the highest levels of expression in kidney and nervous tissue. Its proposed function is the repair of oxidative damage to proteins to restore biological activity.
