Gene information for Gpx6 (Mus musculus)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID75512
Official gene symbolGpx6
Full nameglutathione peroxidase 6
Aliases1700020G18Rik,MGC19204,Ry2d1,olfactory
Gene summaryThis gene encodes a member of the glutathione peroxidase family. Glutathione peroxidases catalyze the reduction of a variety of hydroperoxides, using glutathione as a specific electron donor substrate. The mouse and the rat orthologs contain Cys, unlike their human counterpart, which is a selenoprotein containing Sec (selenocysteine) at its active site. Expression of this gene is restricted to embryos and adult olfactory epithelium. [provided by RefSeq]
