Abstract excerpt
A number of thiol-dependent oxidoreductases are released from cells and act on the cell surface. Correspondingly, several cell-surface processes appear to depend on catalyzed thiol-disulfide exchange, including integrin activation and the fusion of viral particles with the host membrane. Tumor cells frequently increase the abundance of secreted and cell-surface forms of particular oxidoreductases, and evidence...
