Inhibition of cell growth by overexpression of manganese superoxide dismutase (MnSOD) in human pancreatic carcinoma
Moreover, to perform the detoxification of chemotherapeutic compounds, GSH conjugates with drugs via the GSH-S-transferase and lead to its efflux by to multidrug resistance-associated protein (Mrp) transporters [78]
For instance, since one of the products of the reaction catalysed by gulonolactone oxidase is hydrogen peroxide, Halliwell suggested in 2001 that the loss of biosynthesis balanced the "cost" of production, since the advantage of producing one vitamin C molecule would be lost by the production of this reactive oxygen species (Halliwell 2001)
