Prdx4 Gene Summary [Mouse]
Enables identical protein binding activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including cell redox homeostasis; negative regulation of male germ cell proliferation; and peptidyl-proline hydroxylation to 4-hydroxy-L-proline. Located in cytosol and endoplasmic reticulum. Is expressed in several structures, including nervous system. Orthologous to human PRDX4 (peroxiredoxin 4).

Protein Domains
A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in mouse Prdx4 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
