Oxidation-reduction (i.e. redox) processes at the plasma membrane
of any cell have been attracting more and more attention, both in
basic and in applied research, since the first workshop dealing
with the plasma membrane oxidoreductases was organized in Cordoba,
Spain, in 1988. This evolution is evident considering the numerous
cell functions performed by plasma membrane redox systems not only
in healthy cells but also in cells that escaped from the normal
metabolic control (e.g. cancer cells) and cells under attack by
pathogens. Plasma membrane redox processes have now been
demonstrated to play an essential role in growth control and
defense mechanisms of these cells. The great importance of the
plasma membrane redox systems originates in the fact that they are
located in the membrane which is essentially the site of
communication between the living cell and its environment. We may
say that the plasma membrane can be considered as the "sensory
part" of the cell. No chemical substance can enter the cell
interior without interaction with the plasma membrane.
