Structured_descriptionConcise_descriptiongpx-5 encodes a glutathione peroxidase; by homology, GPX-5 is predicted to function to reduce lipid hydroperoxides to their corresponding alcohols and reduce hydrogen peroxide to water to protect cells from damage induced by reactive oxygen species.Curator_confirmedWBPerson1843

Automated_descriptionPredicted to enable glutathione peroxidase activity. Involved in response to reactive oxygen species. Predicted to be located in extracellular space. Expressed in head. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including gastrointestinal system cancer (multiple); glucose metabolism disease (multiple); and hematologic cancer (multiple). Is an ortholog of human GPX3 (glutathione peroxidase 3) and GPX5 (glutathione peroxidase 5).Paper_evidenceWBPaper00065943

RemarkMap 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.CGC_data_submission
