| 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. |
| 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. |
| Source | Escherichia Coli. |
| Physical Appearance | Sterile filtered colorless solution. |
| Formulation | The GPX2 solution (0.25mg/ml) contains 20mM Tris-HCl buffer (pH7.5), 40% glycerol, 0.15M NaCl and 1mM DTT. |
| Stability | Store at 4°C if entire vial will be used within 2-4 weeks. Store, frozen at -20°C for longer periods of time. For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA).Avoid multiple freeze-thaw cycles. |
