EC 1.11.1.12 Details
EC number
1.11.1.12
Accepted name
phospholipid-hydroperoxide glutathione peroxidase
Reaction
2 glutathione + a hydroperoxy-fatty-acyl-[lipid] = glutathione disulfide + a hydroxy-fatty-acyl-[lipid] + H2O
Other name(s)
peroxidation-inhibiting protein, PHGPX, peroxidation-inhibiting protein:peroxidase,glutathione (phospholipid hydroperoxide-reducing), phospholipid hydroperoxide glutathione peroxidase, hydroperoxide glutathione peroxidase
Systematic name
glutathione:lipid-hydroperoxide oxidoreductase
CAS registry number
97089-70-8
Comment
A protein containing a selenocysteine residue. The products of action of EC 1.13.11.12 lipoxygenase on phospholipids can act as acceptors; H2O2 can also act, but much more slowly (cf. EC 1.11.1.9 glutathione peroxidase).
