GO Classification
Functions
  • glutathione peroxidase activity
Processes
  • cellular response to oxidative stress
  • lipid metabolic process
Components
  • sperm plasma membrane
  • extracellular space
General FunctionGlutathione peroxidase activity
Specific FunctionProtects cells and enzymes from oxidative damage, by catalyzing the reduction of hydrogen peroxide, lipid peroxides and organic hydroperoxide, by glutathione. May constitute a glutathione peroxidase-like protective system against peroxide damage in sperm membrane lipids.
