GPX2 Protein, S. cerevisiae, Recombinant (His & Myc)

Glutathione peroxidase-like protein that protects cells from phospholipid hydroperoxides and nonphospholipid peroxides during oxidative stress. Plays an important role in the oxidative stress-induced response in the presence of Ca (2+) . Has peroxidase activity using preferentially thioredoxin as a reducing power. The redox state of the mitochondrial GPX2 is regulated by TRX1 and TRX2 (cytoplasmic thioredoxin), and by TRX3 (mitochondrial matrix thioredoxin) . Involved in sporulation. GPX2 Protein, S. cerevisiae, Recombinant (His & Myc) is expressed in E. coli expression system with N-10xHis and C-Myc tag. The predicted molecular weight is 23.4 kDa and the accession number is P38143.
