CATEGORY

enzyme

SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION	intracellular
	intracellular,cytoplasm
	intracellular,nucleus

basic FUNCTION	glutathione peroxidase involved in free radical detoxification
	involved in transcriptional response to exogenous redox agents and catabolic pathway of activated oxygen species
	H2O2 neutralization by GPX2 is essential for maintaining clonogenic and metastatic capacity, but also for the generation of differentiated proliferating tumor mass
	GPX2 plays an important role in bladder carcinogenesis through the regulation of apoptosis against intracellular ROS
	GPX2 and GPX1 have overlapping functions in controlling inflammatory lipid mediator synthesis and, most probably, exert their anti-inflammatory effects by preventing excessive PGE2 production
	GPX2 regulates the balance between regeneration and apoptotic cell shedding in the intestine
	unique role for redox signaling by GPX2 dysregulation in breast cancer
