MeSH Heading: Glutaredoxins
Tree Number(s): D08.811.682.667.084
Unique ID: D054477
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D054477
Scope Note: A family of thioltransferases that contain two active site CYSTEINE residues, which either form a disulfide (oxidized form) or a dithiol (reduced form). They function as an electron carrier in the GLUTHIONE-dependent synthesis of deoxyribonucleotides by RIBONUCLEOTIDE REDUCTASES and may play a role in the deglutathionylation of protein thiols. The oxidized forms of glutaredoxins are directly reduced by the GLUTATHIONE.
Entry Term(s): Glutaredoxin; Glutaredoxin 1; Glutaredoxin 2; Glutaredoxin 3; Glutaredoxin 5; TTase-1; Thioltransferase; Thioltransferase-1
