Abstract excerpt
Changes in the levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) have been associated previously with cell differentiation and development in several systems. Thus, there is interest in studying the developmental regulation of antioxidant enzymes, whose activities may modulate ROS levels and subsequent oxidant-mediated signal transduction events in specific tissues. Our recent identification in Dictyostelium discoideum of...
