Enables peptide-methionine (S)-S-oxide reductase activity. Involved in cellular response to oxidative stress and determination of adult lifespan. Predicted to be located in mitochondrion. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm. Is expressed in several structures, including anlage in statu nascendi; embryonic/larval hemocyte; epithelium; fat body; and gut section. Orthologous to human MSRA (methionine sulfoxide reductase A).
FB Description
Ecdysone-induced protein 28/29kD (Eip71CD) encodes a methionine-S-sulfoxide reductase involved in the response to oxidative stress. It contributes to determination of adult lifespan and neuron projection.
