Abstract excerpt
Glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPx4) is a monomeric selenium-dependent glutathione peroxidase highly expressed in mammalian cells, which can reduce phospholipid hydroperoxides. However, it has been difficult to express recombinant mammalian GPx4 in Escherichia coli because of the differences in the selenocysteine (Sec) incorporation machinery between eukaryotes and prokaryotes. In this study, an E. coli BL21(DE3)cys...
