Knockout mice show impaired antioxidant defense, increased oxidative stress sensitivity, altered immune and neuronal responses

Human disease relevance

Implicated in cancer (tumor redox balance), neurodegeneration, ferroptosis-related diseases

Model applications

Cancer metabolism models, ferroptosis studies, oxidative stress research

Keywords:

cystine transport, glutathione, ferroptosis, redox balance
