GPx

Gene
GPX
Protein
Glutathione peroxidase 1, mitochondrial
Organism
Chlamydomonas reinhardtii
Length
201 amino acids
Function
May constitute a glutathione peroxidase-like protective system against oxidative stresses. Hydrogen peroxide, tert-butyl hydroperoxide and cumene, but not phosphatidylcholine hydroperoxide, can act as acceptors.
Similarity
Belongs to the glutathione peroxidase family.

Protein
Glutathione peroxidase
Organism
Procambarus clarkii
Length
172 amino acids
Function
Protects cells and enzymes from oxidative damage, by catalyzing the reduction of hydrogen peroxide, lipid peroxides and organic hydroperoxide, by glutathione (By similarity). May defend against reactive oxygen species that accumulate during the immune response.
Similarity
Belongs to the glutathione peroxidase family.
