MeSH definition : One of the most abundant isoenzymes of the glutathione peroxidase family. Located
in the cytosol and mitochondria, it catalyzes the reduction of HYDROGEN PEROXIDE to
water, functioning to limit the accumulation of hydrogen peroxide and modulating
processes that utilize hydrogen peroxide; and also the reduction of other organic
hydroperoxides to their corresponding alcohols.;
