Other Information

**Key characteristics:** - GPX4 is a single-pass membrane protein with a molecular weight of approximately 500 kDa. - It is a member of the glutathione peroxidase family, which are enzymes that catalyze the reduction of glutathione, a reduced form of glutathione. - GPX4 is a key enzyme in the biosynthesis of eicosanoids, a class of lipid mediators involved in inflammation and immune responses. - It is also involved in the metabolism of fatty acids and the synthesis of specialized proresolving mediators (spms). **Pathways and functions:** - GPX4 is involved in the biosynthesis of eicosanoids, including 5-eicosatetraenoic acid, 12-eicosatetraenoic acid derivatives, and 15-eicosatetraenoic acid derivatives. - It is also involved in the metabolism of fatty acids, including the synthesis of eicosanoids from linoleic acid and arachidonic acid. - It plays a role in the regulation of inflammation and immune responses by controlling the production and release of eicosanoids. **Clinical significance:** - Mutations in GPX4 have been linked to the development of several chronic diseases, including asthma, arthritis, and cancer. - GPX4 inhibitors are being investigated as potential therapeutic agents for these diseases. **Additional notes:** - GPX4 is a highly conserved protein with a similar sequence in mammals and humans. - It is a key enzyme in the innate immune response and is upregulated in response to injury or infection. - It is also involved in the regulation of inflammation and tissue repair.
