NP_009803.3

EC 1.11.1.24

Phospholipid hydroperoxide glutathione peroxidase; late-acting antioxidant system that decreases mitochondrial ROS production and preserves electron transport chain (ETC) function; protects cells from phospholipid hydroperoxides and nonphospholipid peroxides during oxidative stress; induced by glucose starvation; protein abundance increases in response to DNA replication stress
