Directed against mouse GPx4 protein. A BLAST analysis was used to suggest cross-reactivity with GPx4 protein from mouse, rat and guinea pig based on 100% homology with the immunizing sequence. Cross-reactivity with human GPx4 is also predicted based on a 94% homology with the immunizing sequence. Reactivity against homologues from other sources is not known.
Glutathione peroxidase catalyzes the reduction of hydrogen peroxide, organic hydroperoxide, and lipid peroxides by reduced glutathione and functions in the protection of cells against oxidative damage. Human plasma glutathione peroxidase has been shown to be a selenium-containing enzyme and the UGA codon is translated into a selenocysteine. Through alternative splicing and transcription initiation, rat produces proteins that localize to the nucleus, mitochondrion, and cytoplasm. In humans, experimental evidence for alternative splicing exists; alternative transcription initiation and the cleavage sites of the mitochondrial and nuclear transit peptides need to be experimentally verified.
