GO Classification
Functions
electron carrier activity / glutathione peroxidase activity
Processes
gene expression / response to reactive oxygen species / transcription initiation from RNA polymerase II promoter
Components
cytoplasm / cytosol / extracellular exosome
General Function
Glutathione peroxidase activity
Specific Function
Could play a major role in protecting mammals from the toxicity of ingested organic hydroperoxides. Tert-butyl hydroperoxide, cumene hydroperoxide and linoleic acid hydroperoxide but not phosphatidycholine hydroperoxide, can act as acceptors.
