Abstract
► The ER contains GPx7, a Cys-glutathione peroxidase missing a resolving Cys. ► The catalytic Cys is oxidized at a fast rate by hydroperoxides. ► GSH binds to the active site, but the release of the reduced enzyme is slow. ► GPx7 is competent for a fast oxidation of PDI. ► Kinetics suggest that physiological GSH regulates the oxidation of PDI by GPx7.
