About GPX5

Cytogenetic location: 6p22.1 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 6:28,525,881-28,534,955 (from NCBI)

This gene has 4 transcripts (splice variants), 1 gene allele, 373 orthologues and 7 paralogues. Restricted expression toward testis (RPKM 1.2).

Summary

This gene belongs to the Glutathione Peroxidase family. It is specifically expressed in the epididymis in the mammalian male reproductive tract, and is androgen-regulated. Unlike several other characterized glutathione peroxidases, this Enzyme is not a selenoprotein, lacking the selenocysteine residue. Thus, it is selenium-independent, and has been proposed to play a role in protecting the membranes of spermatozoa from the damaging effects of lipid peroxidation and/or preventing premature acrosome reaction. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2016]
