Gene Report for SPG00001861_2.0
Identity
GeneGlutathione peroxidase 8 (GPx8)
SpeciesOryzias latipes (Medaka)
DescriptionGlutathione peroxidase functions in the detoxification of hydrogen peroxide, and is one of the most important antioxidant enzymes in humans. Unlike mRNAs for other characterized glutathione peroxidases, this mRNA does not contain a selenocysteine (UGA) codon. Thus, the encoded protein is selenium-independent. (NCBI)
