Abstract excerpt
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are key components of postreceptor intracellular signaling pathways; however, the role of ROS in signal initiation is uncertain. We discovered that receptor-ligand interaction caused the generation of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). Using members of the hematopoietin receptor superfamily, as well as EGF receptor, we show that H2O2 is generated by specific receptor-ligand interaction in...
