Abstract excerpt
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are generated as toxic by-products of aerobic metabolism, but are also essential biomolecules in cell signaling. The thioredoxin (Trx) system is a major enzymatic system modulating ROS levels and is important for redox regulation of cellular function. It consists of Trx and thioredoxin reductase (TrxR), which reduces Trx using NADPH. Most, if not all, of the functions of Trx depend...
