UniprotKB/SwissProt ID: Q9VEJ0 (Q9VEJ0)
Gene Name:
Prx3
Organism: Drosophila melanogaster (Fruit fly)
Function: Thiol-specific peroxidase that catalyzes the reduction of hydrogen peroxide and organic hydroperoxides to water and alcohols, respectively (PubMed:11677042). Plays a role in cell protection against oxidative stress by detoxifying peroxides (PubMed:11677042, PubMed:20869434, PubMed:23124252). May be involved in aging-associated changes in the responsiveness to oxidative stress (PubMed:23124252). Involved in the maintenance of global thiol redox homeostasis (PubMed:20869434). Functions in the central nervous system (CNS) and in motor neurons and is essential for normal motor function (PubMed:33585478, PubMed:33889951)
