Chlorotoxin, a scorpion-derived peptide, specifically binds to gliomas and tumors of neuroectodermal origin

Despite recent progress in the study of the regulation and underlying molecular mechanisms of autophagy, numerous questions remain to be answered

Sulfation may not be a potent detoxification mechanism, because the bone marrow contains high levels of sulfatase that can break down the sulfur conjugates to free phenols.17 The phenolic metabolites also travel to the marrow where they are converted to highly reactive quinones by peroxidases, such as myeloperoxidase, or through autooxidation.45 The major defenses against these toxic quinone products include reduction via NAD(P)H: quinone oxidoreductase (NQO1) or conjugation with glutathione.1819 Quinone oxidation products form DNA adducts and induce a wide-range of DNA damage both directly and indirectly (see below)

Relationships of clinical, physiologic, and inflammatory factors to extracellular BAL fluid and intracellular GSH and GSSG IL-13 upregulates 15LO1 pathway and lowers intracellular GSH IL-13 increases the expression and activity of 15LO1, while inducing binding to PEBP1 (6, 7, 10, 13)

Glutathione synthetase deficiency is due to deficient activity of the enzyme glutathione synthetase (GSS
