Abstract excerpt
Thioredoxin plays an important role in various cellular processes through redox regulation. Here, we have demonstrated that thioredoxin expression is transcriptionally induced in K562 cells by hemin (ferriprotoporphyrin IX) through activation of a regulatory region positioned from -452 to -420 bp...
