H 2 O 2 produced during the oxidative folding of endoplasmic reticulum proteins has been found to regulate the signal transduction process of nuclear factor E2-related factor 2 (Nrf2), which in turn regulates the expression of downstream glutathione peroxidase 8 (GPX8), which in turn can participate in ER calcium regulation through endoplasmic reticulum calcium ATPase (SERCA) (Figure 7)
They actively deplete the body's glutathione reserves and can inhibit the very enzymes required for their own detoxification
