Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a progressive lung disease characterized by excessive extracellular matrix deposition and impaired tissue repair. S-nitrosoglutathione reductase (GSNOR, encoded by ADH5) is a key enzyme that regulates protein S-nitrosylation by metabolizing S-nitrosoglutathione...
