Glutathione peroxidases (GPXs) are enzymes present in almost all organisms with the primary function of limiting peroxides accumulation. In mammals, two of the eight members (GPX7 and GPX8) reside in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). A peculiar feature of GPX8 is the concomitant presence of a conserved N-terminal transmembrane domain (TMD) and a C-terminal KDEL-like motif for ER localization.

Abstract

Glutathione peroxidases (GPXs) are enzymes present in almost all organisms with the primary function of limiting peroxides accumulation. In mammals, two of the eight members (GPX7 and GPX8) reside in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). A peculiar feature of GPX8 is the concomitant presence of a conserved N-terminal transmembrane domain (TMD) and a C-terminal KDEL-like motif for ER localization.
