NCBI Protein Information
L-ascorbate peroxidase
NCBI Summary
Encodes a chloroplastic thylakoid ascorbate peroxidase tAPX. Ascorbate peroxidases are enzymes that scavenge hydrogen peroxide in plant cells. Eight types of APX have been described for Arabidopsis: three cytosolic (APX1, APX2, APX6), two chloroplastic types (stromal sAPX, thylakoid tAPX), and three microsomal (APX3, APX4, APX5) isoforms.
