Human plasma glutathione peroxidase (GPx) was purified to homogeneity by ammonium sulfate fractionation, gel filtration on Sephadex G-150, chromatography on DEAE Sephacel, chromatofocusing with polybuffer, and gel filtration with Sephadex G-75. This isolation resulted in about 5,400-fold purification of the enzyme with a 32% yield on enzyme activity. The final preparation had a specific activity of about 28 units (nmoles NADPH oxidized) per milligram of protein. Determination of selenium on the purified enzyme revealed a content of 3.8 g atoms per mole GPx. Gel electrophoresis using SDS with standard proteins revealed a molecular weight of about 23,000 for the subunits, which would indicate a molecular weight of about 92,000 for the native enzyme. Amino acid analyses of the purified GPx indicated aspartate, glutamate, proline, glycine, alanine, and leucine as the predominant amino acids and cysteine, methionine, tryptophan, and histidine as the minor amino acids.
