Comment typeDescription
Catalytic Activity2 glutathione + a lipid hydroperoxide = glutathione disulfide + lipid + 2 H(2)O.
FunctionProtects cells and enzymes from oxidative damage, by catalyzing the reduction of hydrogen peroxide, lipid peroxides and organic hydroperoxide, by glutathione. {ECO:0000250}.
InductionBy salt stress, osmotic stress, cold treatment, and metals. Up-regulated by salicylic acid (SA), jasmonic acid (JA), abscisic acid (ABA) and auxin. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:14617062, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9511228, ECO:0000269|Ref.1}.
Sequence CautionSequence=AAC09173.1; Type=Erroneous initiation; Evidence={ECO:0000305}; Sequence=AAM66969.1; Type=Erroneous initiation; Evidence={ECO:0000305}; Sequence=BAA24226.1; Type=Erroneous initiation; Evidence={ECO:0000305}; Sequence=CAB39931.1; Type=Erroneous initiation; Evidence={ECO:0000305}; Sequence=CAB78203.1; Type=Erroneous initiation; Evidence={ECO:0000305};
SimilarityBelongs to the glutathione peroxidase family. {ECO:0000305}.
Subcellular LocationMitochondrion {ECO:0000305}.
Tissue SpecificityExpressed at a low but detectable level in leaves, stems, and flowers, but at a higher level in siliques and even higher in roots. Predominantly expressed in seeds. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:14617062, ECO:0000269|Ref.1}.
