Biological function summary

Modification of tyrosine can affect protein function and cell signaling. This post-translational modification can hinder protein function or disrupt protein-protein interactions altering cellular processes. Nitrotyrosine often forms part of the cellular response to oxidative damage contributing to complex antioxidant defenses. The presence of nitrotyrosine indicates a cellular environment stressed by reactive nitrogen species linking it to pathophysiological processes in cells undergoing such stress.

Pathways

3-nitrotyrosine acts in oxidative stress and cell signaling routes. It integrates into pathways related to the cellular stress response particularly the antioxidant defense mechanisms. Proteins such as superoxide dismutase (SOD) may indirectly relate to nitrotyrosine since they mitigate reactive species trying to maintain redox balance. The presence of nitrotyrosine can indicate excess stress on these systems reflecting shifts in signaling that affect cell survival.
