Description
Background: Glutathione Peroxidase 1 (GPX1), also known as Cellular Glutathione Peroxidase, is a member of the glutathione peroxidase antioxidant enzyme family. The Glutathione Peroxidase family protects extracellular fluid components, enzymes and those on cell surfaces from oxidative stress by catalysing the reduction of hydrogen peroxide and lipid peroxides using reduced glutathione. GPX1 is a 92 kDa homotetramer with 23 kDa subunits in which contains a selenocysteine residue at the active site. GPX1 is an important antioxidant enzyme and protects red blood cells and other cells from oxidative damage. Deficiencies in red cell GPX1 have been associated with hemolytic anemia
