Popis: Using a reverse transcription coupled to PCR amplification strategy, with degenerated primers localized in highly conserved domains of known glutathione peroxidase (GPX) proteins, we have generated, from mouse epididymal RNA, a cDNA fragment which was subsequently used to isolate a genomic clone encoding mouse plasma GPX (GPX3). GPX3 is a major enzyme in reducing lipid hydroperoxides and hydrogen peroxide in plasma. We confirm here that the mouse epididymis is a new site of expression of GPX3 and report, together with the sequence, the structural analysis and the chromosomal localization of the mouse GPX3 single-copy gene to chromosome 11.
