Enables glutathione peroxidase activity. Involved in arachidonate metabolic process. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including regulation of intracellular signal transduction; response to bacterium; and skeletal muscle fiber development. Located in cytosol and mitochondrion. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; cardiovascular system; genitourinary system; and sensory organ. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including anemia (multiple); cardiovascular system disease (multiple); gastrointestinal system cancer (multiple); hematologic cancer (multiple); and respiratory system cancer (multiple).
