Glutathione peroxidases

Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - General Subjects, 2013
With increasing evidence that hydroperoxides are not only toxic but rather exert essential physiological functions, also hydroperoxide removing enzymes have to be re-viewed. In mammals, the peroxidases inter alia comprise the 8 glutathione peroxidases (GPx1-GPx8) so far identified.Since GPxs have recently been reviewed under various aspects, we here ...

Salivary peroxidases

Molecular and Cellular Biochemistry, 1986
Peroxidases are known to be involved in the intracellular metabolism of H2O2 coupled with various physiological functions. Apart from the thyroid gland, the enzyme has been isolated from various extrathyroidal sources of which salivary gland is one of the richest sources of the enzyme.

Peroxidases

Chemico-Biological Interactions, 2000
The family of human peroxidases described includes myeloperoxidase, eosinophil peroxidase, uterine peroxidase, lactoperoxidase, salivary peroxidase, thyroid peroxidase and prostaglandin H1/2 synthases. The chemical identity of the peroxidase compound I and II oxidation states for the different peroxidases are compared.

Peroxidases

Current Opinion in Biotechnology, 1993
The availability of recombinant cytochrome c peroxidase from yeast has already proved to be of considerable importance in developing the protein engineering of peroxidases and of metalloproteins in general. With the recent increase in information on peroxidase sequences, further developments in recombinant expression systems and the determination of an

Membrane peroxidases

Molecular and Cellular Biochemistry, 1988
It is well known that the partial reduction of oxygen can result in the formation of highly reactive oxygen products. Hydrogen peroxide is one of these metabolites of oxygen. Peroxidases utilize this metabolite for a variety of functions. It is the purpose of this treatise to review the nature and function of various membrane peroxidases in the body.

Peroxidase-Catalyzed Halogenation

Annual Review of Biochemistry, 1976
Peroxidase-catalyzed halogenation reactions have been established as being important in the biosynthesis of the hormone thyroxine and in biological defense mechanisms. Recently these reactions have been recognized as valuable tools for the study of proteins as well as their arrangement in macromolecular structures.

Peroxidases of Trypanosomatids

Antioxidants & Redox Signaling, 2008
This article provides an overview about the recent advances in the dissection of the peroxide metabolism of Trypanosomatidae. This family of protozoan organisms comprises the medically relevant parasites Trypanosoma brucei, Trypanosoma cruzi, and Leishmania spp.

Neurodegeneration and peroxidases

Neurobiology of Aging, 2009
Alzheimer's disease (AD), Parkinson's disease (PD) and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) are neurodegenerative diseases that affect different parts of the central nervous system. However, a review of the literature indicates that certain biochemical reactions involved in neurodegeneration in these three diseases are quite similar and could be partly ...
