General annotation (Comments)

Function	Glutathione-dependent oxidoreductase that facilitates the maintenance of mitochondrial redox homeostasis upon induction of apoptosis by oxidative stress. Involved in response to hydrogen peroxide and regulation of apoptosis caused by oxidative stress. Acts as a very efficient catalyst of monothiol reactions because of its high affinity for protein glutathione-mixed disulfides. Can receive electrons not only from glutathione (GSH), but also from thioredoxin reductase supporting both monothiol and dithiol reactions. Efficiently catalyzes both glutathionylation and deglutathionylation of mitochondrial complex I, which in turn regulates the superoxide production by the complex. Overexpression decreases the susceptibility to apoptosis and prevents loss of cardiolipin and cytochrome c release. Ref.1 Ref.5
Enzyme regulation	The 2Fe-2S present in the homodimer leads to inactivation of the enzyme. The 2Fe-2S may serve as a redox sensor: the presence of one-electron oxidants or reductants leading to the loss of the 2Fe-2S cluster, subsequent monomerization and activation of the enzyme By similarity.
Subunit structure	Monomer; active form. Homodimer; inactive form. The homodimer is probably linked by 1 2Fe-2S cluster By similarity.
Subcellular location	Isoform 1: Mitochondrion Ref.1. Isoform 2: Nucleus Ref.1.
Tissue specificity	Widely expressed. Highly expressed in testis, and at much lower level in kidney and brain. Ref.4
Developmental stage	During development, it is expressed at highest level at E11. Ref.4
Sequence similarities	Belongs to the glutaredoxin family. Contains 1 glutaredoxin domain.
Biophysicochemical properties	Kinetic parameters: KM=1.68 mM for HEDS Ref.1 KM=1.77 mM for S-sulfocysteine KM=0.3 mM for L-cystine
Sequence caution	The sequence AAF86465.1 differs from that shown. Reason: Frameshift at position 128.
