Protein attributes

Sequence length	197 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 against membrane lipid peroxidation and cell death. Required for normal sperm development and male fertility. Could play a major role in protecting mammals from the toxicity of ingested lipid hydroperoxides. Essential for embryonic development. Protects from radiation and oxidative damage By similarity.
Catalytic activity	2 glutathione + a lipid hydroperoxide = glutathione disulfide + lipid + 2 H2O.
Subunit structure	Monomer By similarity.
Subcellular location	Mitochondrion By similarity. Cytoplasm By similarity.
Sequence similarities	Belongs to the glutathione peroxidase family.
