Recombinant Human Methionine-R-sulfoxide reductase B2, mitochondrial (MSRB2)

Uniprot Id

Q9Y3D2

Target Species

Human

Target Name

MSRB2

Target Full Name

Methionine-R-sulfoxide reductase B2, mitochondrial

Target Function

Methionine-sulfoxide reductase that specifically reduces methionine (R)-sulfoxide back to methionine. While in many cases, methionine oxidation is the result of random oxidation following oxidative stress, methionine oxidation is also a post-translational modification that takes place on specific residue. Upon oxidative stress, may play a role in the preservation of mitochondrial integrity by decreasing the intracellular reactive oxygen species build-up through its scavenging role, hence contributing to cell survival and protein maintenance.

Target Subcellular Location

Mitochondrion.

Target Protein Families

MsrB Met sulfoxide reductase family

Target Tissue Specificity

Ubiquitous. Detected in retina, ocular ciliary body, skeletal muscle, heart, colon, bone marrow, cerebellum, small intestine, fetal brain, fetal liver, kidney, spinal cord, lung, placenta and prostate.
