Abstract excerpt
Electrophilic stress caused by lipid peroxidation products such as 4-hydroxynonenal (4-HNE) and/or related compounds may contribute to aging. The major mode of 4-HNE metabolism involves glutathione conjugation catalyzed by specialized glutathione transferases. We have previously shown that glutathione transferase CeGSTP2-2, the product of the Caenorhabditis elegans gst-10 gene, has the ability to conjugate 4-HNE,...
