Protein glutathionylation is a reversible post-translational modification that involves the attachment of glutathione to cysteine residues. It plays role in regulation several cellular processes and protection against oxidative damage. Glutathionylation (GS-ylation) modulates protein function, inhibits or enhances enzymatic activity, maintains redox homeostasis, shields proteins from irreversible stress. Aberrant GS-ylation patterns are thus implicated various diseases, particularly those associated with stress inflammation, such as cardiovascular neurodegenerative disorders, cancer, many others. Research recent years has highlighted potential manipulate for therapeutic purposes strategies imply both its enhancement inhibition according different cases. Moreover, it become increasingly evident monitoring status selected offers diagnostic diseases. In this review, we try summarize research field focus on our current understanding molecular mechanisms related aberrant GS-ylation.
