Abstract
A human cDNA that encodes a polypeptide that has 94% deduced amino-acid sequence identity to porcine phospholipid hydroperoxide glutathione peroxidase was cloned from a testis library. The sequence shows preservation of the UGA selenocysteine codon, putative active-site Trp and Glu residues and a Tyr residue that is phosphorylated in the porcine protein. The 3'-UTR shows some conservation of sequences implicated in the insertion of selenocysteine at an opal codon in human glutathione peroxidase-1.Entities:
