| Research Abstract |
In the cellular response to oxidative stress, electrophiles suchas 8-nitro-cGMP function as important signal mediators. In this study, we examined thereaction mechanism of hydrogen sulfide-related compounds with electrophiles to revealits role in the signal regulation. As a result, we found that hydrogen sulfide-relatedcompounds react with 8-nitro-cGMP to produce 8-SH-cGMP, and are involved in the regulationof electrophile signaling.
