EC 1.11.1.9 Details

show Brenda entry

EC number

1.11.1.9

Accepted name

glutathione peroxidase

Reaction

2 glutathione + H₂O₂ = glutathione disulfide + 2 H₂O

Other name(s)

GSH peroxidase, selenium-glutathione peroxidase, reduced glutathione peroxidase

Systematic name

glutathione:hydrogen-peroxide oxidoreductase

CAS registry number

9013-66-5

Comment

A protein containing a selenocysteine residue. Steroid and lipid hydroperoxides, but not the product of reaction of EC 1.13.11.12 lipoxygenase on phospholipids, can act as acceptor, but more slowly than H₂O₂ (cf. EC 1.11.1.12 phospholipid-hydroperoxide glutathione peroxidase).

History

created 1965, modified 1989
