11. Functional characterization of cytosolic and mitochondrial thioredoxin reductases
Sammanfattning : Mammalian thioredoxin reductases (TrxRs) are homodimeric selenoproteins belonging to the nucleotide oxidoreductase family. They contain a C-terminal penultimate selenocysteine residue, which is kept reduced by the N-terminal redox active site, CVNVGC, of the adjacent subunit. LÄS MER
12. Glutathione peroxidase and selenium in meat - Tissue and species variation, thermal stability and selenium speciation
Sammanfattning : Lipid oxidation is a major problem in muscle foods, leading to a loss in quality and nutritional value. It occurs in raw meat but is usually more pronounced in cooked meat. Since the demands of consumers for ready-to-eat foods have increased, the control of off-flavour in cooked meat is an important industrial problem. LÄS MER
13. Targeting glutathione peroxidases : identifying environmental modulators, and screening for novel small molecule inhibitors
Sammanfattning : Glutathione peroxidases (GPXs) are a family of selenoproteins that are critical regulators of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the cell, specifically hydroperoxides like hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). ROS are important for normal cell signaling and are tightly controlled to promote cell growth, proliferation, and survival. LÄS MER
