Peroxidase Enzyme Pathway

Molecular classification: Enzyme

Overview

The peroxidase enzyme pathway encompasses a family of enzymes central for cellular protection against oxidative damage via reduction of toxic peroxides—most notably through mechanisms involving heme or thiol cofactors—and plays vital roles across diverse biological systems in maintaining redox homeostasis.
