---|---|
Function | Catalyzes the reduction of hydroperoxides in a glutathione- dependent manner thus regulating cellular redox homeostasis (PubMed:36608588, PubMed:8428933). Can reduce small soluble hydroperoxides such as H2O2, cumene hydroperoxide and tert-butyl hydroperoxide, as well as several fatty acid-derived hydroperoxides (PubMed:36608588, PubMed:8428933). Cannot reduce phosphatidycholine hydroperoxide (PubMed:8428933). |
Cellular Location | Cytoplasm, cytosol. |
Tissue Location | Mostly in liver and gastrointestinal tract, not found in heart or kidney. |

Background
This gene is a member of the glutathione peroxidase family and encodes a selenium-dependent glutathione peroxidase that is one of two isoenzymes responsible for the majority of the glutathione-dependent hydrogen peroxide-reducing activity in the epithelium of the gastrointestinal tract. Studies in knockout mice indicate that mRNA expression levels respond to luminal microflora, suggesting a role of the ileal glutathione peroxidases in preventing inflammation in the GI tract.
