UniProt functional annotation for Q9BYN0

UniProt code: Q9BYN0.

Organism: Homo sapiens (Human).
Taxonomy: Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo.
 
Function: Contributes to oxidative stress resistance by reducing cysteine-sulfinic acid formed under exposure to oxidants in the peroxiredoxins PRDX1, PRDX2, PRDX3 and PRDX4. Does not act on PRDX5 or PRDX6. May catalyze the reduction in a multi-step process by acting both as a specific phosphotransferase and a thioltransferase. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15448164, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15590625}.
 
Catalytic activity: Reaction=[peroxiredoxin]-S-hydroxy-S-oxy-L-cysteine + [protein]-dithiol + ATP = [peroxiredoxin]-S-hydroxy-L-cysteine + [protein]-disulfide + ADP + H(+) + phosphate; Xref=Rhea:RHEA:17545, Rhea:RHEA-COMP:10593, Rhea:RHEA-COMP:10594, Rhea:RHEA-COMP:13681, Rhea:RHEA-COMP:14051, ChEBI:CHEBI:15378, ChEBI:CHEBI:29950, ChEBI:CHEBI:30616, ChEBI:CHEBI:43474, ChEBI:CHEBI:50058, ChEBI:CHEBI:61967, ChEBI:CHEBI:61973, ChEBI:CHEBI:456216; EC=1.8.98.2;
Cofactor: Name=Mg(2+); Xref=ChEBI:CHEBI:18420; Evidence={ECO:0000250};
Subcellular location: Cytoplasm {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15448164}.
Tissue specificity: Widely expressed with highest levels in kidney, lung, spleen and thymus. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15448164}.
Similarity: Belongs to the sulfiredoxin family. {ECO:0000305}.
