Glutaredoxin 2 (Grx2) Gene Deletion Induces Early Onset of Age-dependent Cataracts in Mice
2 Nov 2014
Abstract excerpt
Glutaredoxin 2 (Grx2) is an isozyme of glutaredoxin1 (thioltransferase) present in the mitochondria and nucleus with disulfide reductase and peroxidase activities, and it controls thiol/disulfide balance in cells. In this study, we investigated whether Grx2 gene deletion could induce faster age-related cataract formation and elucidated the biochemical changes effected by Grx2 gene deletion that may contribute to...
