초록

Oxidative stress has been considered as a major cause of inducing cell damage, but it is recently recognized that mild oxidative stress or receptor-mediated production of ROS contributes to the regulation of various cellular functions. Several ion channels, such as L-type $Ca^{2+}$ channels and $Ca^{2+}$-activated $K^{+}$ channels, have been shown to be regulated by oxidation of thiol group in their structure, and are suggested to be involved in ROS-sensitive cellular signaling.(omitted)
