| Name | peroxiredoxin activity |
| ID | GO_0051920 |
| collection_id | Molecular function |
| Exact synonym | PRDX activity, Prx activity |
| Description | Catalysis of the reaction: [protein]-dithol + ROOH = [protein]-disulfide + H2O + ROH. |
| Comment | Includes redox chemistry as part of the catalytic reaction (2 R'-SH = R'-S-S-R'), where R' refers to peroxiredoxin itself). Not to be confused with GO:0004601 (peroxidase activity, EC:1.11.1.7), which has a different reaction mechanism. |
