Recombinant Human GPX5 Protein, GST-tagged

• Cat.No.: GPX5-5312H
• Product Overview: Human GPX5 full-length ORF ( NP_003987.2, 1 a.a. - 100 a.a.) recombinant protein with GST-tag at N-terminal.

Specification

• Description: This gene belongs to the glutathione peroxidase family. It is specifically expressed in the epididymis in the mammalian male reproductive tract, and is androgen-regulated. Unlike mRNAs for other characterized glutathione peroxidases, this mRNA does not contain a selenocysteine (UGA) codon. Thus, the encoded protein is selenium-independent, and has been proposed to play a role in protecting the membranes of spermatozoa from the damaging effects of lipid peroxidation and/or preventing premature acrosome reaction. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been described for this gene. [provided by RefSeq
