Abstract excerpt
More than 400 million people are susceptible to oxidative stress due to glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency. Protein glutathionylation is believed to be responsible for loss of protein function and/or cellular signaling during oxidative stress. To elucidate the implications of G6PD deficiency specifically in cellular control of protein glutathionylation, we used hydroxyethyldisulfide (HEDS), an...
