1.11.1.12 |
| Accepted name: |
phospholipid-hydroperoxide glutathione peroxidase |
| Reaction: |
2 glutathione + a hydroperoxy-fatty-acyl-[lipid] = glutathione disulfide + a hydroxy-fatty-acyl-[lipid] + H2O |
| Other name(s): |
peroxidation-inhibiting protein; PHGPX; peroxidation-inhibiting protein:peroxidase,glutathione (phospholipid hydroperoxide-reducing); phospholipid hydroperoxide glutathione peroxidase; hydroperoxide glutathione peroxidase |
| Systematic name: |
glutathione:lipid-hydroperoxide oxidoreductase |
| Comments: |
A protein containing a selenocysteine residue. The products of action of EC 1.13.11.12 lipoxygenase on phospholipids can act as acceptors; H2O2 can also act, but much more slowly (cf. EC 1.11.1.9 glutathione peroxidase). |
