Abstract The Trx (thioredoxin) and Grx (glutaredoxin) systems control cellular redox
potential, keeping a reducing thiol-rich intracellular state, which on generation of reactive
oxygen species signals through thiol redox control mechanisms. Here, we give a brief
overview of the human Trx and Grx systems. The main part focuses on our current
knowledge about mitochondrial Grx2, which facilitates mitochondrial redox homoeostasis
during oxidative stress-induced apoptosis.
