[Method] Using total RNA of sus scrofa duodenum as template, degenerated primer pairs were designed according to the homology alignment analysis of GPX2 gene of human, rat, mouse, dog and cattle. A sus scrofa GPX2 gene sequence of 330 bp was obtained by RT-PCR application method. Primes were designed respectively according to the known sequence, sus scrofa GPX2 gene was isolated and cloned by 3-RACE and 5-RACE method and analyzed the gene sequence. [Result] A mRNA sequence of 924 bp was successfully cloned and isolated in this research. This sequence contained complete 3＇end and had higher sequence homology with human,mouse,cattle and dog GPX2 gene, and there was codon called TGA which encoding Sec on the position of No. 114-116 gene. [Conclusion] Sequence alignment analysis showed that the cloned gene was sus scrofa GPX2 gene （ NCBI GenBank database, the sequence number was D098982）.展开更多
GPX-GI is a cytosolic tetrameric Se-dependent glutathione peroxidase, similar in properties to GPX-1. Unlike the almost ubiquitous GPX-1, GPX-GI is mainly expressed in the epithelium of gastrointestinal tract.

Unlike the almost ubiquitous GPX-1, GPX-GI is mainly expressed in the epithelium of gastrointestinal tract. GPX-GI contributes to at least fifty percent of GPX activity in rodent small intestmal epithelium. The total GPX activity consists of at least 70% of selenium-dependent GPX activity in this compartment.By analyzing a panel of mouse mterspecies DNA from the Jackson Laboratory's backcross resource,we mapped Gpx2 gene to mouse chromosome 12 between D12Mit4 and D12Mit5, near the Ccs1 locus which contains a colon cancer susceptibility gene. A pseudogene, Gpx2-ps is mapped to mouse chromosome 7.Comparison of Gpx2 gene expression in three pairs of C57BL/6Ha and ICR/Ha mice which are respectively resistant and sensitive to dimethylhydrazine-induced colon cancer, we found a higher Gpx2 mRNA level in C57BL/6Ha colon than ICR/Ha colon. Interestingly, a lower level of GPX activity is found in the resistant strain of mice. Because GPX-1 has three times higher specific activity than GPX GI, our data suggest that the decreased GPX activity may result from a higher level of Gpx2 gene expression in those cells co-express GPx1 gene展开更多
