The protein encoded by the GPX1 gene belongs to the glutathione peroxidase family, members of which catalyze the reduction of organic hydroperoxides and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) by glutathione, and thereby protect cells against oxidative damage. Other studies indicate that H2O2 is also essential for growth-factor mediated signal transduction, mitochondrial function, and maintenance of thiol redox-balance; therefore, by limiting H2O2 accumulation, glutathione peroxidases are also involved in modulating these processes. Several isozymes of this gene family exist in vertebrates, which vary in cellular location and substrate specificity. This isozyme is the most abundant, is ubiquitously expressed and localized in the cytoplasm, and whose preferred substrate is hydrogen peroxide. It is also a selenoprotein, containing the rare amino acid selenocysteine (Sec) at its active site. [RefSeq]
Optimal dilution of the Glutathione Peroxidase 1 antibody should be determined by the researcher.
A synthetic peptide specific to human Glutathione Peroxidase 1 / GPX1 was used as the immunogen for the Glutathione Peroxidase 1 antibody.
Store the Glutathione Peroxidase 1 antibody at -20oC.
