Other Information

**Key characteristics:** - GPX7 is a member of the glutathione peroxidase family of enzymes. - It is a highly conserved protein with a conserved catalytic domain. - It is expressed in high levels in the colon, suggesting a role in protecting the gut from oxidative damage. **Pathways and functions:** - GPX7 is involved in multiple cellular pathways, including: - Catalase activity: It catalyzes the reduction of hydrogen peroxide to water, protecting cells from oxidative damage. - Cellular oxidant detoxification: It helps remove harmful reactive oxygen species (ROS) produced by other antioxidant defenses. - Cellular responses to stimuli: It is involved in the regulation of inflammation and immune responses. - Cellular response to stress: It helps protect cells from damage caused by stress factors. - Cellular response to chemical stress: It detoxifies harmful chemicals, such as hydrogen peroxide and ammonia. - Detoxification of reactive oxygen species: It plays a crucial role in protecting cells from oxidative damage caused by ROS generated during cellular metabolism. **Clinical significance:** - Mutations in the GPX7 gene have been linked to an increased risk of certain diseases, including colorectal cancer, liver disease, and neurodegenerative disorders. - GPX7 inhibitors are being investigated as potential cancer drugs. - Studies on animal models have shown that GPX7 deficiency enhances cancer cell survival and metastasis. **Additional notes:** - GPX7 is a relatively new protein, with most of the sequence identified in the last decade. - It is a highly regulated protein, with its expression being controlled by various factors, including the redox environment, cellular stress, and inflammation.
