Protein attributes

Sequence length	226 AA.
Sequence status	Complete.
Sequence processing	The displayed sequence is further processed into a mature form.
Protein existence	Evidence at transcript level

General annotation (Comments)

Function	Protects cells and enzymes from oxidative damage, by catalyzing the reduction of hydrogen peroxide, lipid peroxides and organic hydroperoxide, by glutathione By similarity.
Catalytic activity	2 glutathione + H2O2 = glutathione disulfide + 2 H2O.
Subunit structure	Homotetramer By similarity.
Subcellular location	Secreted By similarity.
Tissue specificity	Expressed intensively in the kidney and adrenal gland, and weakly in the cerebellum, heart, and lung. Secreted in plasma. Ref.1
Sequence similarities	Belongs to the glutathione peroxidase family.
