Peptide methionine sulfoxide reductase is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the MSRA gene.[1][2]

This protein is ubiquitous and highly conserved. It carries out the enzymatic reduction of methionine sulfoxide to methionine. Human and animal studies have shown the highest levels of expression in kidney and nervous tissue. Its proposed function is the repair of oxidative damage to proteins to restore biological activity.[2]
