PRDX1 (Peroxiredoxin 1) is a member of the peroxiredoxin family of antioxidant proteins that reduce hydrogen peroxide and organic hydroperoxides. PRDX1 is one of the most abundant cellular proteins and plays important roles in redox signaling and antioxidant defense.
PRDX1:
PRDX1:
Alzheimer's Disease: PRDX1 is oxidized in AD brain. May be protective.
Parkinson's Disease: PRDX1 may protect dopaminergic neurons.
Cancer: PRDX1 often overexpressed in cancers.
