CLINICAL MEASUREMENT - ANNOTATIONS

The Clinical Measurement Ontology (CMO), Measurement Methods Ontology (MMO), and Experimental Condition Ontology (XCO) are currently being developed at the Rat Genome Database. For more information about these vocabularies please see Shimoyama et al. Three ontologies to define phenotype measurement data. Front Genet. 2012;3:87.

Definition:The amount of ezymatic activity of glutathione peroxidase in a specified sample of plasma, the fibrinogen-containing fluid portion of the blood in which the particulate components are suspended. Glutathione peroxidase (GPx) is an enzyme that catalyzes the reaction of two glutathiones with H2O2, forming glutathione disulfide and two water molecules, and is a crucial enzyme in hydrogen peroxide detoxification.
Synonyms:related_synonym: plasma GPx activity level;   plasma GSH-Px activity level
