[1]	NUCLEOTIDE SEQUENCE [MRNA]. DOI=10.1016/j.cbpc.2005.05.002; PubMed=15967696 [NCBI, ExPASy, EBI, Israel, Japan] Fukuhara R., Kageyama T.; "Structure, gene expression, and evolution of primate glutathione peroxidases."; Comp. Biochem. Physiol. 141B:428-436(2005).

Comments

FUNCTION: Could play a major role in protecting mammals from the toxicity of ingested lipid hydroperoxides. Essential for embryonic development. Protects from radiation and oxidative damage (By similarity).
CATALYTIC ACTIVITY: 2 glutathione + a lipid hydroperoxide = glutathione disulfide + lipid + 2 H₂O.
SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Mitochondrion (By similarity). Cytoplasm (By similarity).

ALTERNATIVE PRODUCTS: 2 named isoforms [FASTA] produced by alternative initiation.

Name	Mitochondrial
Isoform ID	Q4AEG9-1
This is the isoform sequence displayed in this entry.

Name	Cytoplasmic
Isoform ID	Q4AEG9-2
Features which should be applied to build the isoform sequence: VSP_018739.

SIMILARITY: Belongs to the glutathione peroxidase family.
