MeSH definition : A family of ubiquitously-expressed peroxidases that play a role in the reduction of
a broad spectrum of PEROXIDES like HYDROGEN PEROXIDE; LIPID PEROXIDES and peroxinitrite.
They are found in a wide range of organisms, such as BACTERIA; PLANTS; and MAMMALS.
The enzyme requires the presence of a thiol-containing intermediate such as THIOREDOXIN
as a reducing cofactor.;
