Plant secretory peroxidases are important commercial enzymes and play a central role in plant stress responses. The focus of this work is a unique peroxidase from the leaves of a cold tolerant palm, Trachycarpus fortunei, (i.e., windmill palm tree). Like other palm tree peroxidases, windmill palm tree peroxidase is stable at high temperatures and in the presence of denaturants. It is distinct from other palm tree peroxidases in its substrate specificity. The amino acid sequence and glycosylation
