Description

General description

GPX1 (glutathione peroxidase 1) is a selenoprotein and the gene is mapped to human chromosome 3p21.3. It is present in the cytoplasm and is widely expressed.

Biochem/physiol Actions

GPX1 (glutathione peroxidase 1) is responsible for scavenging free radicals and derivatives. GPXs reduces lipid hydroperoxides to the corresponding alcohols as well as free hydrogen peroxide to water. Mutations in the GPX1 gene are associated with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) susceptibility. Mutation in GPX1 at C594T is linked with oxidative stress-associated disorders, including prostate cancer and bladder cancer.

Physical form

Lyophilized from 55 mM TRIS-HCl, pH 8.2, containing 150 mM NaCl, 1 mM DTT.

Reconstitution

Reconstitute with 100 μL deionized water.

Other Notes

Human GPX1 (aa 1-201) is fused at the C-terminus to a His-tag.
