Gene:
sulfiredoxin 1 homolog (S. cerevisiae)
Gene ID:
198971
Symbol:
SRXN1
Species:
1000
Description:
Contributes to oxidative stress resistance by reducing cysteine-sulfinic acid formed under exposure to oxidants in the peroxiredoxins PRDX1 and PRDX2. May catalyze the reduction in a multi-step process by acting both as a specific phosphotransferase and a thioltransferase.
