Enzyme Information

1.11.1.12
Phospholipid-hydroperoxide glutathione peroxidase.
based on mapping to UniProt P36969
2 glutathione + a hydroperoxy-fatty-acyl-[lipid] = glutathione disulfide + a hydroxy-fatty-acyl-[lipid] + H(2)O.
-!- The products of action of EC 1.13.11.12 on phospholipids can act as acceptor; H(2)O(2) can also act, but much more slowly (cf. EC 1.11.1.9).
