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, 1976Peroxidase-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, 2008This 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, 2009Alzheimer'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 ...

Gastrointestinal glutathione peroxidase
BioFactors, 1999AbstractThe gastrointestinal glutathione peroxidase (GI‐GPx) is the fourth member of the GPx family. In rodents, it is exclusively expressed in the gastrointestinal tract, in humans also in liver. It has, therefore, been discussed to function as a primary barrier against the absorption of ingested hydroperoxides.

Class III peroxidases are heme-containing proteins of the secretory pathway with an extremely high number of isoenzymes, indicating the tremendous and important functions of this protein family. This chapter describes fractionation of the cell in subproteomes, their separation by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE) and visualization of peroxidase

Horseradish peroxidase C (HRP; ferric) reacts with H2O2 to form Compound I, with an equilibrium constant of about 10(14) M-1. Two-step reduction of Compound I to Compound II and further to the ferric enzyme occurs reversibly at Eo' values of 0.90 and 0.93 V (pH 7.0), respectively.

PHOSPHOLIPID HYDROPEROXIDE GLUTATHIONE PEROXIDASE
Phosphorus and Sulfur and the Related Elements, 1988In acute inflammation the activated leukocytes generate cytotoxic oxygen free radicals. The role of these radical species in the cellular damage following an acute inflammatory reaction is well known. On the other hand the extent of the cellular damage must be dependent on both the rate of the free-radical generation and the scavenging capacity of the ...

Common phylogeny of catalase-peroxidases and ascorbate peroxidases
Gene, 2000Catalase-peroxidases belong to Class I of the plant, fungal, bacterial peroxidase superfamily, together with yeast cytochrome c peroxidase and ascorbate peroxidases. Obviously these bifunctional enzymes arose via gene duplication of an ancestral hydroperoxidase. A 230-residues long homologous region exists in all eukaryotic members of Class I, which is
