NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
This gene belongs to the glutathione peroxidase family. It is specifically expressed in the epididymis in the mammalian male reproductive tract, and is androgen-regulated. Unlike mRNAs for other characterized glutathione peroxidases, this mRNA does not contain a selenocysteine (UGA) codon. Thus, the encoded protein is selenium-independent, and has been proposed to play a role in protecting the membranes of spermatozoa from the damaging effects of lipid peroxidation and/or preventing premature acrosome reaction. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been described for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2008]
Uniprot Description
GPX5: Protects cells and enzymes from oxidative damage, by catalyzing the reduction of hydrogen peroxide, lipid peroxides and organic hydroperoxide, by glutathione. May constitute a glutathione peroxidase-like protective system against peroxide damage in sperm membrane lipids. Belongs to the glutathione peroxidase family. 2 isoforms of the human protein are produced by alternative splicing.
Protein type: Lipid Metabolism - arachidonic acid; Secreted, signal peptide; Oxidoreductase; Secreted; EC 1.11.1.9; Other Amino Acids Metabolism - glutathione
Chromosomal Location of Human Ortholog: 6p22.1
Cellular Component: extracellular space
Molecular Function: glutathione peroxidase activity
Biological Process: response to oxidative stress; lipid metabolic process

Product Notes
The GPX5 gpx5 (Catalog #AAA9405900) is an Antibody produced from Rabbit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The GPX5 antibody reacts with Human, Mouse, Rat and may cross-react with other species as described in the data sheet. AAA Biotech's GPX5 can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, Western Blot (WB). Western blotting: 1:500 - 1:2000. Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the GPX5 gpx5 for an application not listed in the data sheet. Researchers commonly develop new applications and it is an integral, important part of the investigative research process. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "GPX5, Polyclonal Antibody" 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
