Identification of 2-Cys Peroxiredoxin (BmTPx-2) as Antioxidant Active Molecule from Babesia microti

Peroxiredoxins (Prxs) are a family of antioxidant enzymes that reduce peroxides in the presence of thioredoxin, thioredoxin reductase, and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) to resist oxidative stress. In this study, we identified and isolated a 2-Cys Prx designated as ‘BmTPx-2’ fro...
