Recombinant Human Glutathione Peroxidase 1, His-tagged

• Cat.No.: GPX1-1273H
• Product Overview: Recombinant human GPX1(U49C) protein, fused to His-tag at N-terminus, was expressed in E.coli and purified by using conventional chromatography techniques.

Specification

• Cat. No.: GPX1-1273H
• Description: GPX1 belongs to the glutathione peroxidase family, consisting of eight known glutathione peroxidases (Gpx1-8) in humans. GPX1 functions in the detoxification of hydrogen peroxide, and is one of the most important antioxidant enzymes in humans. The GPX1 is part of the enzymatic antioxidant defence, preventing oxidative damage to DNA, proteins and lipids by detoxifying hydrogen and lipid peroxides that may contribute to prostate cancer development. This protein is one of only a few proteins known in higher vertebrates to contain selenocysteine, which occurs at the active site of glutathione peroxidase and is coded by the nonsense (stop) codon TGA.
