Amino acids 1-203(U49S) constitute the expression domain of recombinant Human GPX1. The calculated molecular weight for this GPX1 protein is 26.1 kDa. This GPX1 protein is produced using e.coli expression system. The GPX1 gene fragment has been modified by fusing the N-terminal 6xHis tag, providing convenience in detecting and purifying the recombinant GPX1 protein during the following stages.
Human glutathione peroxidase 1 (GPX1) is a key antioxidant enzyme that plays a crucial role in protecting cells from oxidative damage. GPX1 belongs to the family of glutathione peroxidases, and its primary function is to catalyze the reduction of hydrogen peroxide and organic hydroperoxides using glutathione as a reducing agent. By scavenging reactive oxygen species (ROS), GPX1 helps maintain cellular redox balance and protects biomolecules such as lipids and DNA from oxidative stress. GPX1 is widely distributed in various tissues, with particularly high levels in the liver. Understanding the function of GPX1 is essential for unraveling the complex interplay between antioxidants and oxidative stress, providing insights into potential therapeutic strategies for conditions associated with oxidative damage.There are currently no reviews for this product.
