Glutaredoxins MeSH Descriptor Data 2025


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.
