Journal ArticleDOI

Thioredoxin and related molecules--from biology to health and disease.

TL;DR: Thioredoxin and binding proteins appear to control apoptosis or metabolic states such as carbohydrate and lipid metabolism related to diseases such as diabetes and atherosclerosis and the fundamental differences between bacterial and mammalian thiOREDoxin reductases offer new principles for treatment of infections.
Journal ArticleDOI

Thioredoxins, glutaredoxins, and peroxiredoxins--molecular mechanisms and health significance: from cofactors to antioxidants to redox signaling.

TL;DR: This review summarizes the almost 50 years of research on these proteins, focusing primarily on data from vertebrates and mammals, that is, their potential impact and functions in different cell types, tissues, and various pathological conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI

Thiol redox control via thioredoxin and glutaredoxin systems.

TL;DR: The main part of this work focuses on the current knowledge about mitochondrial Grx2, which facilitates mitochondrial redox homoeostasis during oxidative stress-induced apoptosis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Thiol-based mechanisms of the thioredoxin and glutaredoxin systems: implications for diseases in the cardiovascular system

TL;DR: Cardioprotective effects of endogenous thioredoxin and glutaredoxin systems as well as the high potential in clinical applications of exogenously applied thiOREDoxin or glutaredoxins or the induction of endogenousThioredoxins and glutaringoxin systems are summarized.
Journal ArticleDOI

Human Mitochondrial Glutaredoxin Reduces S-Glutathionylated Proteins with High Affinity Accepting Electrons from Either Glutathione or Thioredoxin Reductase

TL;DR: Grx2 was a substrate for NADPH and thioredoxin reductase, which efficiently reduced both the active site disulfide and the GSH-glutaredoxin intermediate formed in the reduction of glutathionylated substrates, suggesting an important role for Grx2 in protection and recovery from oxidative stress.
