Human Glutathione peroxidase 2 ELISA Kit
NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
This gene is a member of the glutathione peroxidase family and encodes a selenium-dependent glutathione peroxidase that is one of two isoenzymes responsible for the majority of the glutathione-dependent hydrogen peroxide-reducing activity in the epithelium of the gastrointestinal tract. The protein encoded by this locus contains a selenocysteine (Sec) residue encoded by the UGA codon, which normally signals translation termination. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been described. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2012]

Product Notes
The Human GPX2 gpx2 (Catalog #AAA2881668) is an ELISA Kit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The AAA2881668 ELISA Kit recognizes Human GPX2. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "Glutathione peroxidase 2, ELISA Kit" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
