GLRX5


Description

GLRX5, also known as glutaredoxin 5, is a gene that encodes a protein crucial for maintaining cellular redox balance. This protein acts as a reductase, utilizing glutathione to reduce disulfide bonds in other proteins, thereby regulating their activity and protecting cells from oxidative stress. The GLRX5 gene plays a vital role in various cellular processes, including protein folding, DNA repair, and signal transduction. Its dysregulation has been linked to several diseases.
