Abstract: | Reactive oxygen species (ROS) including superoxide anion and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) are thought to be byproducts of aerobic respiration with damaging effects on DNA, protein, and lipid. A growing body of
evidence indicates, however, that ROS are involved in the maintenance of redox homeostasis and various cellular signaling
pathways. ROS are generated from diverse sources including mitochondrial respiratory chain, enzymatic activation of cytochrome
p450, and NADPH oxidases further suggesting involvement in a complex array of cellular processes. This review summarizes the
production and function of ROS. In particular, how cytosolic and membrane proteins regulate ROS generation for intracellular
redox signaling will be detailed. |
