description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable antioxidant activity. Predicted to be involved in regulation of osteoclast differentiation. Located in mitochondrion. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; ganglia; lung; sensory organ; and urinary system. Orthologous to human PRXL2A (peroxiredoxin like 2A). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit reduced circulating adipokine levels and decreased collagen deposition in adipose tissue along with mild adipocyte ER stress and hyperinsulinemia.
