GPX3(U73C), 21-226aa , Human, His tag, E.coli

GPX3, also known as glutathione peroxidase 3, belongs to the glutathione peroxidase family, which functions in the detoxification of hydrogen peroxide. GPX3 protects cells and enzymes from oxidative damage, by catalyzing the reduction of hydrogen peroxide, lipid peroxides and organic hydroperoxide, by glutathione. This protein is one of only a few proteins known in higher vertebrates to contain selenocysteine, which occurs at the active site of glutathione peroxidase and is coded by the nonsense (stop) codon TGA. Recombinant human GPX3(U73C) protein, fused to His-tag at N-terminus, was expressed in E.coli and purified by using conventional chromatography

Can be stored at +4C short term (1-2 weeks). For long term storage, aliquot and store at -20C or -70C. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing cycles.
