Background
Glutathione peroxidases(GPxs) are ubiquitously expressed proteins which catalyze the reduction of hydrogen peroxides and organic hydroperoxides by glutathione. This protein is one of the most important antioxidant enzymes in humans. This protein has been reported to protect cultured breast cancer cells from CD95-induced apoptosis and inhibits 5-lipoxygenase in blood cells, and its overexpression delays endothelial cell growth and increases resistance to toxic challenges. There are several isoforms which differ in their primary structure and localization. All mammalian GPx family members, except for the recently described Cys containing GPx3 and epididymis specific secretory GPx(eGPxor GPx5)isoforms, possess selenocysteine at the active site. One allele of the Glutathione Peroxidase 1 gene is significantly associated with an increased breast cancer risk.Synonyms: Cellular glutathione peroxidase, GSHPx-1
