Mammalian heme peroxidases : diverse roles in health and disease / edited by Clare Hawkins, William M. Nauseef.

Includes bibliographies and index.

"Peroxidasins are a family of heme peroxidases that play a novel role in tissue biogenesis and matrix assembly. Mammalian heme peroxidase enzymes are critical for immune responses and disease prevention. Although highly beneficial, overproduction drives the development of pathologies, including cardiovascular, neurodegenerative, respiratory, kidney and inflammatory bowel diseases by triggering the initiation of stress-related pathways leading to cell damage and dysfunction. This book highlights the roles of mammalian heme peroxidases, as well as their involvement in immunity and disease, and potential therapeutic approaches to modulate and prevent damaging reactions"--
