Peroxiredoxin 6, also known as PRDX6, 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 and can reduce H2O2 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. Recombinant human peroxiredoxin 6 protein, fused to His-tag at N-terminus, was expressed in E.coli and purified by using conventional chromatography.
