Abstract
Disturbance of glutathione metabolism is a hallmark of numerous diseases, yet glutathione functions are still poorly under-stood. One key to address this question is to consider its functional compartmentation. In the endoplasmic reticulum(ER), protein folding requires disulfide bond formation catalyzed by the thiol oxidase Ero1 and protein disulfide isomerase (PDI).In the ER, glutathione is thought to counterbalance ER oxidation by the Ero1-PDI redox relay, which explain its relative more oxidized redox state (EGSH -242 mV), relative to the cytoplasm(EGSH = -295 mV)
