GPX3

 Glutathione peroxidase 3 (plasma)

 

  • Alias                                 (According to NCBI)

 
  • glutathione peroxidase 3 (plasma)
  • Plasma glutathione peroxidase precursor (EC 1.11.1.9) (GSHPx-P) (Extracellular glutathione
    peroxidase) (GPx-P).

  • Glutathione peroxidase catalyzes the reduction of hydrogen peroxide, organic hydroperoxide, and lipid peroxides by reduced glutathione and functions in the protection of cells against oxidative damage. Human plasma glutathione peroxidase has been shown to be a selenium-containing enzyme. GPX3 expression appears to be tissue-specific.
