Abstract: Epididymal specific glutathione peroxidase (GPx5) protected sperms from oxidative stress, maintained the integrity of sperm genetic information and promoted sperms to develop, its physiological functions played an irreplaceable role in improving animal reproduction. But the mechanism of its gene expression regulation of transcription was not yet clear. Based on the achievements the concerning literature had been made, the study had carried on the summary of characteristics, expression and regulation of gene expression and transcription regulation etc.

Key words: epididymis; epididymal specific glutathione peroxidase; oxidative stress; gene regulation
