GPX2

SYNONYMS
Glutathione peroxidase 2, GPx-2, GSHPx-2, Gastrointestinal glutathione peroxidase, Glutathione peroxidase-gastrointestinal, GPx-GI, GSHPx-GI, Glutathione peroxidase-related protein 2, GPRP-2, GPX2, GPRP, GI-GPx.

INTRODUCTION
Glutathione peroxidase 2 (GPX2) is a member of the glutathione peroxidase family, consisting of 8 known glutathione peroxidases (Gpx1-8) in humans. Glutathione peroxidase functions in the detoxification of hydrogen peroxide, and is one of the most important antioxidant enzymes in humans. GPX2 may have a major role in protecting mammals from the toxicity of ingested organic hydroperoxides. GPX2 is one of only a few proteins known in higher vertebrates to contain selenocysteine, which appears at the active site of glutathione peroxidase and is coded by the nonsense (stop) codon TGA.

DESCRIPTION
GPX2 Human Recombinant produced in E.coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 210 amino acids (1-190) and having a molecular mass of 24.1kDa.
GPX2 is fused to a 20 amino acid His-tag at N-terminus & purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
