Evolutionarily Conserved Role of Thioredoxin Systems in Determining Longevity
Thioredoxin and thioredoxin reductase are evolutionarily conserved antioxidant enzymes that protect organisms from oxidative stress.These proteins also play roles in redox signaling and ventilationstejp can act as a redox-independent cellular chaperone.In most organisms, there is a cytoplasmic and mitochondrial thioredoxin system.A number of studie
