| Abstract | Despite a large body of evidence for enzymatic activities and physiological functions of plasma membrane redox function, few of these enzymes have been characterized in terms of molecular biology. Examples for these with at least some molecular data up to complete sequences, membrane topology and binding sites for substrates and coenzymes or prosthetic groups are NADH-ferricyanide reductase of Ehrlich ascites membranes, NADH-coenzyme Q reductase of liver, NADH oxidase ectoenzyme of liver and HeLa (and possibly other) cells, protein disulfide isomerase which is widespread, and relatives thereof, as well as cytochromes P-450 andb 558, NADPH oxidase of fat and thyroid cells and fat cell amine oxidase. Ferricyanide reductase and coenzyme O reductase may be identical, but NADH oxidase ectoenzyme is distinct and possibly functions also as a disulfide and a copper reductase. On the other hand, the plasma-membrane-located protein disulfide isomerase (PDI), despite its similar enzymatic activity, is completely different from the ectooxidase. The latter is shed from the membrane into the surrounding medium by proteolysis, whereas PDI is not an integral membrane protein and is secreted intact. Another disulfide reductase has been demonstrated in THP-1 cells, which again is totally different from the former two. It turns out that enzymatic activities are insufficient to describe redox enzymes. Special forms of cytochrome P-450 can be induced to expression at the cell membrane of liver, where they are transported by the cytoskeleton-associated secretory pathway. Why some isoforms are expressed at the surface and some are not is not yet clear. Cytochromeb 558, the flavocytochrome of neutrophils, is described in other cells too, but there are different isoforms, which are genetically distinct. A relative has also been identified in duodenal cells, where it functions as a ferric reductase involved in iron absorption. NADPH oxidase of fat cells has very similar properties, but the identity is unproved, whereas thyroid oxidase is a non-heme protein which is calcium-sensitive and does not need assembly of subunits for activation. Finally, fat cell membranes also possess a quinone-containing amine-oxidase which may be involved in signaling of glucose-transport regulation, as it is also found in GLUT4-containing vesicles. However, the physiological connection has yet to be demonstrated. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
