Abstract excerpt
In mammalian cultured cells, the cystine/glutamate exchange transport mediated by system x(c)- is important to maintain intracellular GSH levels. System x(c)- consists of two protein components, xCT and the heavy chain of 4F2 antigen. The activity of system x(c)- is induced by various stimuli, including electrophilic agents like diethyl maleate. In the present study, we have investigated the mechanism of the...
