Abstract excerpt
Thioredoxin (Trx) is a protein disulfide oxidoreductase that can be secreted and act as a chemoattractant for leukocytes. Like chemokines, it causes desensitization of monocytes against its chemotactic activity and that of monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1). To investigate the role of the redox properties of Trx, and particularly of some of its five cysteines, in its chemotactic and desensitizing action,...
