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.

D004822 Epididymis The convoluted cordlike structure attached to the posterior of the TESTIS. Epididymis consists of the head (caput), the body (corpus), and the tail (cauda). A network of ducts leaving the testis joins into a common epididymal tubule proper which provides the transport, storage, and maturation of SPERMATOZOA.
