S-nitrosoglutathione
Abstract
Background: S-Nitrosoglutathione (GSNO) is the S-nitrosated derivative of glutathione and is thought to be a critical mediator of the down stream signaling effects of nitric oxide (NO). GSNO has also been implicated as a contributor to various disease states.
Scope of review: This review focuses on the chemical nature of GSNO, its biological activities, the evidence that it is an endogenous mediator of NO action, and implications for therapeutic use.
Major conclusions: GSNO clearly exerts its cellular actions through both NO- and S-nitrosation-dependent mechanisms; however, the chemical and biological aspects of this compound should be placed in the context of S-nitrosation as a whole.
General significance: GSNO is a central intermediate in formation and degradation of cellular S-nitrosothiols with potential therapeutic applications; thus, it remains an important molecule of study. This article is part of a Special Issue entitled Cellular functions of glutathione.
