Predicted to enable peroxidase activity. Predicted to be involved in cellular oxidant detoxification and response to oxidative stress. Predicted to be located in cytoplasm. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in gastrointestinal system cancer (multiple) and spondylometaphyseal dysplasia Sedaghatian type. Is an ortholog of human GPX4 (glutathione peroxidase 4).
Map position created from combination of previous interpolated map position (based on known location of sequence) and allele information. Therefore this is not a genetic map position based on recombination frequencies or genetic experiments. This was done on advice of the CGC.
