Gene information for GPX3 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID2878
Official gene symbolGPX3
Full nameglutathione peroxidase 3 (plasma)
Aliases,GPx-P,GSHPx-3,GSHPx-P,
Gene summaryThis gene product belongs to the glutathione peroxidase family, which functions in the detoxification of hydrogen peroxide. It contains a selenocysteine (Sec) residue at its active site. The selenocysteine is encoded by the UGA codon, which normally signals translation termination. The 3' UTR of Sec-containing genes have a common stem-loop structure, the sec insertion sequence (SECIS), which is necessary for the recognition of UGA as a Sec codon rather than as a stop signal.
