Description
Glutaredoxin-2, as known as GRX2, multifunctional enzyme with glutathione-dependent oxidoreductase, glutathione peroxidase and glutathione S-transferase(GST) activity. This protein is localized both in the mitochondria and nucleus. It has anti-apoptotic activity by preventing cardiolipin oxidation and cytochrome c release. GRX2 exhibited 36% identity with GRX1 and had a disulfide active center containing the Cys-Ser-Tyr-Cys motif
