Symbol: Msra Name: Methionine sulfoxide reductase A Entrez gene ID: 110265 Ensembl gene ID: ENSMUSG00000054733 Species: Mouse (Taxid: 10090) Functional description: Has an important function as a repair enzyme for proteins that have been inactivated by oxidation. Catalyzes the reversible oxidation-reduction of methionine sulfoxide in proteins to methionine (By similarity). [UniProt] Observation: Msra homozygous knockouts exhibit a 40% shorter lifespan than wild-type or heterozygotes (C57BL/6J). Msra -/- mice have enhanced sensitivity to oxidative stress, accumulatehigher levels of protein cabronyls, and demonstrate and atypical walking pattern [11606777].
