Vectors for Mouse Gpx4

Gene Information

  • Offical Gene Symbol Gpx4
  • Species Mouse (Mus musculus)
  • Offical Full Name glutathione peroxidase 4
  • Other Aliases GPx-4; GSHPx-4; PHGPx; mtPHGPx; snGPx
  • Other Desigations phospholipid hydroperoxide glutathione peroxidase GPX4; phospholipid hydroperoxide glutathione peroxidase, mitochondrial; phospholipid hydroperoxide glutathione peroxidase, nuclear; sperm nuclei glutathione peroxidase
  • Gene Type protein-coding
  • Summary
    The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the glutathione peroxidase family, members of which catalyze the reduction of hydrogen peroxide, organic hydroperoxides and lipid hydroperoxides, and thereby protect cells against oxidative damage. Several isozymes of this gene family exist in vertebrates, which vary in cellular location and substrate specificity. This isozyme has a high preference for lipid hydroperoxides and protects cells against membrane lipid peroxidation and cell death. It is also required for normal sperm development; thus, it has been identified as a \'moonlighting\' protein because of its ability to serve dual functions as a peroxidase, as well as a structural protein in mature spermatozoa. Disruption of this gene in mouse spermatocytes is associated with male infertility. This isozyme is also a selenoprotein, containing the rare amino acid selenocysteine (Sec) at its active site. Sec is encoded by the UGA codon, which normally signals translation termination. The 3\' UTRs of selenoprotein mRNAs contain a conserved stem-loop structure, designated the Sec insertion sequence (SECIS) element, that is necessary for the recognition of UGA as a Sec codon, rather than as a stop signal. Transcript variants resulting from alternative splicing or use of alternate promoters have been described to encode isoforms with different subcellular localization. Pseudogenes of this locus have been identified on chromosomes 10 and 17. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2019]
