General Information

General Information Comment Organism
physiological function NNT expression and activity are elevated in response to the mitochondrial dysfunction and oxidative stress associated with angiotensin II treatment. Knockdown of NNT leads to a significant elevation of mitochondrial ROS production and impaired glutathione peroxidase and glutathione reductase activities associated with a reduction in the NADPH/NADP+ ratio. Loss of NNT also promotes mitochondrial dysfunction, disruption of the mitochondrial membrane potential, and impaired ATP production in response to angiotensin II. The loss of NNT augments endothelial nitric oxide synthase phosphorylation at Ser1177, but neither endothelial nitric oxide synthase activity nor nitric oxide production are similarly increased Homo sapiens
