About This Section
| Entrez Gene summary for GPX6: This gene product belongs to the glutathione peroxidase family, which functions in the detoxification of hydrogenperoxide. It contains a selenocysteine (Sec) residue at its active site. The selenocysteine is encoded by the UGAcodon, which normally signals translation termination. The 3' UTR of Sec-containing genes have a common stem-loopstructure, the sec insertion sequence (SECIS), which is necessary for the recognition of UGA as a Sec codon ratherthan as a stop signal. Expression of this gene is restricted to embryos and adult olfactory epithelium. (provided byRefSeq)
