The reaction occurs in the reverse direction to that shown above. The enzyme exhibits high specificity for the reduction of the S-form of L-methionine S-oxide, acting faster on the residue in a peptide than on the free amino acid . On the free amino acid, it can also reduce D-methionine (S)-S-oxide but more slowly . The enzyme plays a role in preventing oxidative-stress damage caused by reactive oxygen species by reducing the oxidized form of methionine back to methionine and thereby reactivating peptides that had been damaged. In some species, e.g. Neisseria meningitidis, both this enzyme and EC 1.8.4.12, peptide-methionine (R)-S-oxide reductase, are found within the same protein whereas, in other species, they are separate proteins [1,4]. The reaction proceeds via a sulfenic-acid intermediate [5,10].

hormonal regulation of MsrA is implicated in conferring protection against oxidative stress in the Drosophila. Cells that are able to express MsrA were twice as resistant to H2O2 in comparison with cells that are not able to express this gene
cellular system of balancing native proteins and oxidatively damaged proteins by use of protein biosynthesis, protein oxidative modification, protein elimination, and oxidized protein repair involving the enzyme, overview, enzyme protects against oxidative damage of proteins, loss of enzyme activity is age-related

supplement of dimethylsulfide leads to cytoprotection and extends longevity. MsrA knockdown abolishes the cytoprotective effect and the longevity benefits of dimethylsulfide
transgenic flies overexpressing MsrA show increased extended life span, with extended time of physical and sexual activity, and increased resistance to paraquat
