Contains 21 contributions addressing both new research and techniques in this rapidly advancing field, with chapters written by researchers from Japan, Korea, England, and the US. Topics include thioredoxin/adult T-cell leukemia-derived factor (ADF) as a key regulator of redox; structural basis of thioredoxin-mediated redox regulation; the novel antioxidant enzyme thioredoxin peroxidase and mammalian peroxiredoxins; cellular response to lipid peroxidation products; the reactive oxygen-enhanced EGF receptor phosphorylation; oxidative stress-induced carbonyl stress in uremia; and the involvement of thioredoxin in the redox regulation of nuclear factor Kappa B. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
Presents recent developments in the rapidly expanding field of redox regulation research. The book examines insights into intracellular communication and new techniques for diagnosing and treating diseases associated with oxidation and reduction. It focuses on important cellular mechanisms, such as redox reactions related to thioredoxin (TRX)/adult T-cell leukemia-derived factor (ADF).
