PHOSPHOLIPID HYDROPEROXIDE GLUTATHIONE PEROXIDASE
Phosphorus and Sulfur and the Related Elements, 1988In acute inflammation the activated leukocytes generate cytotoxic oxygen free radicals. The role of these radical species in the cellular damage following an acute inflammatory reaction is well known. On the other hand the extent of the cellular damage must be dependent on both the rate of the free-radical generation and the scavenging capacity of the ...

Glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPx4) is a selenocysteine (Sec)-containing glutathione peroxidase. GPx4 catalyzes the reduction of hydroperoxides and the oxidation of thiols through a ping-pong mechanism in which the redox transitions are faster than the formation of enzyme-substrate complexes; thus, K m and V max are infi nite.

Cellular and Molecular Life Sciences, 2001
There are several proteins in mammalian cells that can metabolize hydrogen peroxide and lipid hydroperoxides. These proteins include four selenium-containing glutathione peroxidases that are found in different cell fractions and tissues of the body. This review considers the structure and distribution of the selenoperoxidases and how this relates to ...

Kinetics of glutathione peroxidase
Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Enzymology, 1969Abstract The dependency of the reaction rate of purified glutathione peroxidase (GSH: H2O2 oxidoreductase, EC 1.11.1.9) on the concentration of the substrates is investigated employing methods by which the substrates involved are determined immediately. GSH is measured polarographically. H2O2 is estimated by enzymatic oxidation of the fluorescent dye

Erythrocyte Glutathione‐Peroxidase Deficiency
British Journal of Haematology, 1970Summary Glutathione peroxidase deficiency is the most recently described erythrocyte enzyme abnormality. This enzyme occupies a critical position in the pathways leading to the decomposition of peroxides in the erythrocyte. On the basis of our studies of patients with GSH‐P deficiency, it appears that a spectrum of disease quite similar to that found ...

Oxidative stress in plants causes the induction of several enzymes, including superoxide dismutase (EC 1.15.1.1), ascorbate peroxidase (EC 1.11.1.11) and glutathione reductase (EC 1.6.4.2). The first two are responsible for converting superoxide to H2O2 and its subsequent reduction to H2O, and the third is involved in recycling of ascorbate ...

GLUTATHIONE PEROXIDASE LEVELS IN BRAIN
Journal of Neurochemistry, 1974AbstractGlutathione peroxidase activity in brains of various animals was examined. Enzyme activity was low, approximately 10 nmol of glutathione oxidized min−1 mg protein−1 or less. This result suggests that brain tissues contain insufficient glutathione peroxidase activity to provide protection from peroxidative damage and that an alternative ...

Within the family of glutathione peroxidases (GPxs), GPx-4 is the sole monomeric enzyme that contains Sec at the active site. Phylogenetically, it is closer to the Cys-containing homologues (CysGPx) of invertebrata and vertebrata than to the tetrameric GPxs of vertebrata containing Sec.

Phylogenetic distribution of glutathione peroxidase
Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part B: Comparative Biochemistry, 19791. The enzyme glutathione peroxidase (E.C.1.11.1.9), known to be a selenoprotein from mammalian sources, was detected in the following vertebrates: fish, frog, salamander, and turtle. 2. Among invertebrates, the enzyme was detected in crayfish and snail but not in insects or earthworm. 3.

Homocysteine and Glutathione Peroxidase-1
Antioxidants & Redox Signaling, 2007Mildly elevated homocysteine levels (Hcy) increase the risk for atherothrombotic vascular disease in the coronary, cerebrovascular, and peripheral arterial circulations. The molecular mechanisms responsible for decreased bioavailability of endothelium-derived nitric oxide (NO) by Hcy involve an increase of vascular oxidant stress and inhibition of ...
