MSRA (gene)

Peptide methionine sulfoxide reductase is an is_associated_with::enzyme that in humans is encoded by the MSRA is_associated_with::gene.

Function
This protein is ubiquitous and highly conserved. It carries out the enzymatic reduction of methionine sulfoxide to is_associated_with::methionine. Human and animal studies have shown the highest levels of expression in kidney and liver. Its proposed function is the repair of is_associated_with::oxidative damage to proteins to restore biological activity.

Clinical significance
Deletion of this gene has been associated with is_associated_with::insulin resistance in mice.
