Prdx1 Gene Summary [Rat]
Enables heme binding activity; identical protein binding activity; and peroxiredoxin activity. Involved in response to oxidative stress. Located in euchromatin; mitochondrial matrix; and peroxisomal matrix. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in methylmalonic aciduria and homocystinuria type cblC. Orthologous to human PRDX1 (peroxiredoxin 1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

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 rat Prdx1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
