The GPx 18 genes are mapped to chromosomes 3, 14, 5, 19, 6, 6, 1 and 5 respectively.44 Among the glutathione peroxidases, GPx1 is the most abundant selenoperoxidase and is present virtually in all cells.45 GPx2 is found much more in the gastrointestinal tract primarily in the intestine.46, 47 The kidney relative to other tissues is the primary location for GPx3, though
When ingested, it encounters gamma-glutamyltransferase enzymes in the intestinal lumen that cleave it into constituent amino acids before systemic absorption occurs
