{"product_id":"gpx4-rabbit-polyclonal-antibody-50ul","title":"GPX4 Rabbit Polyclonal Antibody, 50ul","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe protein encoded by this gene belongs to the glutathione peroxidase family| members of which catalyze the reduction of hydrogen peroxide| organic hydroperoxides and lipid hydroperoxides| and thereby protect cells against oxidative damage. Several isozymes of this gene family exist in vertebrates| which vary in cellular location and substrate specificity. This isozyme has a high preference for lipid hydroperoxides and protects cells against membrane lipid peroxidation and cell death. It is also required for normal sperm development; thus| it has been identified as a 'moonlighting' protein because of its ability to serve dual functions as a peroxidase| as well as a structural protein in mature spermatozoa. Mutations in this gene are associated with Sedaghatian type of spondylometaphyseal dysplasia (SMDS). This isozyme is also a selenoprotein| containing the rare amino acid selenocysteine (Sec) at its active site. Sec is encoded by the UGA codon| which normally signals translation termination. The 3' UTRs of selenoprotein mRNAs contain a conserved stem-loop structure| designated the Sec insertion sequence (SECIS) element| that is necessary for the recognition of UGA as a Sec codon| rather than as a stop signal. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been found for this gene. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BT LAB","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56514909536629,"sku":"BT-AP02883-50ul","price":162.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0843\/2671\/1640\/files\/Antibody_main_Dungeon_5.jpg?v=1767678439","url":"https:\/\/www.labcart.com\/de\/products\/gpx4-rabbit-polyclonal-antibody-50ul","provider":"LabCart Life Science","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
