Selenoprotein GPX4 (glutathione peroxidase 4), originally known as PHGPX (phospholipid hydroperoxide glutathione peroxidase), is the main oxidoreductase in use of a reducing agent scavenging lipid peroxidation products. There are three isoforms: cytosolic (cGPX4), mitochondrial (mGPX4), and nuclear (nGPX4), with distinct spatiotemporal expression patterns during embryonic development adult life. In addition to inducing phenotype ferroptosis, loss can some cells trigger apoptosis, necroptosis, pyroptosis, or parthanatos, which mediates accelerates developmental defects, tissue damage, sterile inflammation.
