Abstract excerpt
Most cells contain high levels of glutathione and multiple glutaredoxins, which utilize the reducing power of glutathione to catalyze disulfide reductions in the presence of NADPH and glutathione reductase (the glutaredoxin system). Glutaredoxins, like thioredoxins, may operate as dithiol reductants and are involved as alternative pathways in cellular functions such as formation of deoxyribonucleotides for DNA...
