Overexpression of Catalase Diminishes Oxidative Cysteine Modifications of Cardiac Proteins.

Reactive protein cysteine thiolates are instrumental in redox regulation. Oxidants, such as hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), react with thiolates to form oxidative post-translational modifications, enabling physiological redox signaling. Cardiac disease and aging are associated with oxidative stress which...
