Abstract
Glutaredoxins are small proteins (12 kDa) with a conserved active sequence Cys-Pro-Tyr(-Phe)-Cys that catalyse GSH-disulfide oxidoreduction reactions in the presence of NADPH and glutathione reductase. Many mammalian glutaredoxins have been characterized and human and pig cDNA sequence determined. However, no mouse glutare-doxin cDNA or protein sequence has yet been reported. We have cloned a cDNA from a mouse liver library that encodes the putative mouse glutaredoxin homologue. The deduced polypeptide sequence encodes a 107 amino acid protein displaying a high degree of homology with other members of the glutaredoxin family.
