Reactive Oxygen Species Production (ROS Production)
- Target
- ROS Production
- Molecular classification
- Process, Metabolic pathway
01
Overview
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) production refers to the generation of highly reactive molecules derived from molecular oxygen through both enzymatic and nonenzymatic processes. These species play dual roles—serving critical functions in cell signaling/defense at low concentrations but causing cellular injury when overproduced or inadequately neutralized by antioxidant systems.
