Involved in the lipid remodeling steps of GPI-anchormaturation. Lipid remodeling steps consist in the generation of 2saturated fatty chains at the sn-2 position of GPI-anchor proteins(GPI-AP). Has phospholipase A2 activity that removes an acyl-chainat the sn-2 position of GPI-anchors during the remodeling of GPI.Required for the shedding of the GPI-AP TDGF1, but not CFC1, atthe cell surface. Shedding of TDGF1 modulates Nodal signaling byallowing soluble TDGF1 to act as a Nodal coreceptor on other cells(PubMed:27881714). Also indirectly involved in the translocationof RAC1 from the cytosol to the plasma membrane by maintaining thesteady state amount of CAV1-enriched plasma membrane subdomains,stabilizing RAC1 at the plasma membrane (PubMed:27835684). Incontrast to myomaker (TMEM8C), has no fusogenic activity(PubMed:26858401). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:26858401,ECO:0000269|PubMed:27835684, ECO:0000269|PubMed:27881714}. Essential antioxidant peroxidase that directly reducesphospholipid hydroperoxide even if they are incorporated inmembranes and lipoproteins (By similarity). Can also reduce fattyacid hydroperoxide, cholesterol hydroperoxide and thyminehydroperoxide (By similarity). Plays a key role in protectingcells from oxidative damage by preventing membrane lipidperoxidation (By similarity). Required to prevent cells fromferroptosis, a non-apoptotic cell death resulting from an iron-dependent accumulation of lipid reactive oxygen species(PubMed:24439385). The presence of selenocysteine (Sec) versus Cysat the active site is essential for life: it provides resistanceto overoxidation and prevents cells against ferroptosis (Bysimilarity). The presence of Sec at the active site is alsoessential for the survival of a specific type of parvalbumin-positive interneurons, thereby preventing against fatal epilepticseizures (By similarity). May be required to protect cells fromthe toxicity of ingested lipid hydroperoxides (By similarity).Required for normal sperm development and male fertility (Bysimilarity). Essential for maturation and survival ofphotoreceptor cells (By similarity). Plays a role in a primary T-cell response to viral and parasitic infection by protecting T-cells from ferroptosis and by supporting T-cell expansion (Bysimilarity). {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:O70325,ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P36968, ECO:0000269|PubMed:24439385}.
