An essential role for free radicals and derived species in signal transduction
Abstract
It is well accepted that extracellular ligands trigger nuclear signals through a cascade of protein‐protein interactions. Many of these pathways have been carefully defined and provide an important framework by which we can understand and intervene in the processes they initiate. Recent data in the literature indicate that many extracellular ligands generate and/or require reactive free radicals or derived species to successfully transmit their signals to the nucleus. Thus, a novel signaling mechanism akin to one solely dependent on protein‐protein interactions may exist. Here, we review this information, identify both the sources and targets of free radicals generated by various growth factors and cytokines, discuss how specificity can be achieved, and explore the pathophysiological implications.—Lander, H.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
