Tissue Specificity | Mostly in liver and gastrointestinal tract, not found in heart or kidney. |
Post Translational Modifications | |
Function | Catalyzes the reduction of hydroperoxides in a glutathione-dependent manner thus regulating cellular redox homeostasis. Can reduce small soluble hydroperoxides such as H2O2, cumene hydroperoxide and tert-butyl hydroperoxide, as well as several fatty acid-derived hydroperoxides. Cannot reduce phosphatidycholine hydroperoxide. |
