Peroxiredoxin 6 (Prdx6) is a non-seleno peroxidase enzyme, encoded by the gene mapped to human chromosome 1q25.1. Prdx6 belongs to thiol-specific antioxidant protein family. It is highly expressed in lung, alveolar epithelial type II cells and alveolar macrophages. The protein is characterized with a single conserved cysteine residue and is called 1-Cys Prdx. Prdx6 contains 224 amino acids.

Peroxiredoxin 6 (Prdx6) is a bifunctional enzyme, carrying out both phospholipase A2 (PLA2) activity and glutathione (GSH) peroxidase function. The encoded protein aids in redox regulation of the cell and is implicated in reduction of H2O2 and short chain organic, fatty acid, and phospholipid hydroperoxides. It might also have a crucial role in the regulation of phospholipid turnover and in antioxidant defense. Prdx6 is highly expressed at leading edges of wounds and aids in wound healing. Deficiency of the enzyme activity is observed in cataracts of the lens. Overexpression of Prdx6 leads to several degenerative CNS (central nervous system) disorders such as Alzheimer′s, Parkinson′s, Pick′s, and Crutzfeld-Jakob diseases and schizophrenia. In addition, elevated expression of the enzyme is also observed in various neoplastic diseases including malignant mesothelioma, bronchogenic squamous cell carcinoma and cancer of the gingivo-buccal area, bladder and breast.

Schizophrenia is likely to be a consequence of DNA alterations that, together with environmental factors, will lead to protein expression differences and the ultimate establishment of the illness. The superior temporal gyrus is implicated in schizophrenia and executes functions such
Peroxiredoxin 6: a bifunctional enzyme with glutathione peroxidase and phospholipase A2 activities.
Peroxiredoxin 6 (Prdx6) is a ubiquitously expressed antioxidant non-selenium glutathione peroxidase that is known to play a major role in various physiological and pathological processes. It belongs to the family of peroxidases (referred to as Peroxiredoxins, Prdx's) that work independently
