The role of glutathione peroxidase-1 in health and disease
Free Radic Biol Med. 2022 Jun 9:S0891-5849(22)00224-6. doi: 10.1016/j.freeradbiomed.2022.06.004. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTGlutathione peroxidase 1 (GPx1) is an important cellular antioxidant enzyme that is found in the cytoplasm and mitochondria of mammalian cells. Like most selenoenzymes, it has a single redox-sensitive selenocysteine amino acid that is important for the enzymatic reduction of hydrogen peroxide and soluble lipid hydroperoxides. Glutathione provides the source of reducing equivalents for its function. As an antioxidant enzyme, GPx1 modulates the balance between necessary and harmful levels of reactive...
