Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of genetic engineering, in particular to a jujube glutathione peroxidase gene. Background technique
[0002] Mills first discovered that GPX, which has antioxidant effects in animal cells, is believed to be a defense against hemolysis caused by red blood cell oxidation, and named it glutathione peroxidase. In the past, it was considered to be the classic GPX, and now the enzyme with this function is named GPX-1. Later, the Flohe research group purified and analyzed the enzymes distributed in cells and acting on various organic peroxides and H 2 o 2 GPX, studies have shown that it is a tetramer composed of 4 protein subunits, each subunit contains 1 selenocysteine, and it forms the oxidation of the enzyme in the form of ionized selenol Restore the active center. A large number of studies have shown that mammalian GPXs have high catalytic activity and can quickly remove excess reactive oxygen species (ROS)...
