We originally identified senescence marker protein 30 (SMP30) as a distinctive protein whose expression decreases in an androgen-independent manner with aging. Here, we report its sequence homology found in two kinds of bacterial gluconolactonases (G

Glutathione (GSH) is known to inhibit copper-catalyzed autoxidation of L-ascorbic acid (AA); in this study, AA was found to conversely inhibit copper-catalyzed autoxidation of GSH. To elucidate the mechanism of the mutual inhibition of the autoxidati

Menkes' disease is an inherited disorder of copper homeostasis that arises from a deficiency in copper-transporting P-type ATPase, the mouse gene for which is designated Atp7a. The macular and the viable-brindled mouse are among Menkes' disease model
