SYNONYMS
Thiol peroxidase, Scavengase P20, tpx, yzzJ, b1324, JW1317.
INTRODUCTION
Lipid hydroperoxide peroxidase (TPX) belongs to the peroxiredoxin family of antioxidant enzymes, which reduce hydrogen peroxide and alkyl hydroperoxides. TPX has an imperative role in thioredoxin peroxidase activity.
DESCRIPTION
TPX produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 188 amino acids (1-168 a.a.) and having a molecular mass of 19.9kDa.
TPX is fused to a 20 amino acid His-tag at N-terminus & purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
