Abstract excerpt
AIMS: Thioredoxin-1 (Trx) is an important protein involved in the regulation of apoptosis and in enhancing drug resistance in cancer cells. Threonine100 (T100) of Trx was reported to be phosphorylated; however, the role of this phosphorylation in regulating activity remains unresolved. We explored whether and how the phosphorylation of Trx is involved in drug resistance in cancer cells. MAIN METHODS: The levels...
