Researchers investigate its interaction with biological signaling systems, cellular adaptation processes, and tissue-related mechanisms
Model and physiological GSSR substrates are, for example, l-cysteine-glutathione disulfide (GSSCys) 9,10,11,12,13,14,15 , coenzyme A-glutathione disulfide 3,16 , as well as S -glutathionylated serum albumin 9,11,17,18,19,20 , sirtuin 21 , sulfiredoxin 22 , and peroxiredoxins 23,24,25,26,27,28,29
