Membrane potential cyclic nucleotide dependent

With modest increase in intracellular ROS levels, activation of NF-kB takes place, which protects the cell against oxidative stress [45], Direct root of ROS participation in signal transduction from cell membrane to intracellular metabolic reactions were recently described. Among them - activation of potential-dependent K-channels and variation of membrane potential, inhibition of cellular protein phosphatases and restriction of activity of MAP-kinase [49]. Such view on intracellular role of ROS consider them as second messengers, which together with cyclic nucleotides, calcium ions, and other biologically active compounds provides adequate cell response to the outer signals.
