Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Mammalian GPx7 is a monomeric glutathione peroxidase of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), containing a Cys redox center (CysGPx). Although containing a peroxidatic Cys (CP) it lacks the resolving Cys (CR), that confers fast reactivity with thioredoxin (Trx) or related proteins to most other CysGPxs. METHODS: Reducing substrate specificity and mechanism were addressed by steady-state kinetic analysis of...
