In the course of the reaction of EC 1.11.1.15, peroxiredoxin, its cysteine residue is alternately oxidized to the sulfenic acid, S-hydroxycysteine, and reduced back to cysteine. Occasionally the S-hydroxycysteine residue is further oxidized to the sulfinic acid S-hydroxy-S-oxocysteine, thereby inactivating the enzyme. The reductase provides a mechanism for regenerating the active form of peroxiredoxin, i.e. the peroxiredoxin-(S-hydroxycysteine) form. Apparently the reductase first catalyses the phosphorylation of the -S(O)-OH group by ATP to give -S(O)-O-P, which is attached to the peroxiredoxin by a cysteine residue, forming an -S(O)-S- link between the two enzymes. Attack by a thiol splits this bond, leaving the peroxiredoxin as the sulfenic acid and the reductase as the thiol.

exposure of low steady-state levels ofH2O2 to A-549 or wild-type mouse embryonic fibroblast cells does not lead to any significant change in oxidative injury. Loss-of-function studies using sulfiredoxin-depleted A549 and sulfiredoxin -/- cells demonstrate a dramatic increase in extra- and intracellular H2O2, sulfinic 2-Cys peroxiredoxins, and apoptosis. Concomitant with hyperoxidation of mitochondrial peroxiredoxin Prx III, sulfiredoxin-depleted cells show an activation of mitochondria-mediated apoptotic pathways including mitochondria membrane potential collapse, cytochrome c release, and caspase activation

adrenocortical tumor cell lines show increased enzyme expression. Adrenocorticotropic hormone also induces upregulation of the enzyme with its levels peaking at 3-6 h after injection of adrenocorticotropic hormone
oxidative stress results in protein oxidation and is involved in the pathogenesis of lung diseases such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder, COPD, in lungs from COPD patients the expression of Srx1 is dramatically decreased
