TRXR1 Polyclonal Antibody
Product details
Background:
thioredoxin reductase 1(TXNRD1) Homo sapiens This gene encodes a member of the family of pyridine nucleotide oxidoreductases. This protein reduces thioredoxins as well as other substrates, and plays a role in selenium metabolism and protection against oxidative stress. The functional enzyme is thought to be a homodimer which uses FAD as a cofactor. Each subunit contains a selenocysteine (Sec) residue which is required for catalytic activity. The selenocysteine is encoded by the UGA codon that normally signals translation termination. The 3' UTR of selenocysteine-containing genes have a common stem-loop structure, the sec insertion sequence (SECIS), that is necessary for the recognition of UGA as a Sec codon rather than as a stop signal. Alternative splicing results in several transcript variants encoding the same or different isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008],

| Function | Catalytic activity:Thioredoxin + NADP(+) = thioredoxin disulfide + NADPH.,cofactor:Binds 1 FAD per subunit.,Domain:The N-terminal glutaredoxin domain found in isoform 1 does not contain the C-P-Y-C redox-active motif normally found in glutaredoxins and has been found to be inactive in classical glutaredoxin assays.,Function:Isoform 1 may possess glutaredoxin activity as well as thioredoxin reductase activity and induces actin and tubulin polymerization, leading to formation of cell membrane protrusions. Isoform 4 enhances the transcriptional activity of estrogen receptors alpha and beta while isoform 5 enhances the transcriptional activity of the beta receptor only. Isoform 5 also mediates cell death induced by a combination of interferon-beta and retinoic acid.,induction:Isoform 5 is induced by a combination of interferon-beta and retinoic acid (at protein level). Isoform 1 is induced by estradiol or testosterone in HeLa cells.,miscellaneous:The thioredoxin reductase active site is a redox-active disulfide bond. The selenocysteine residue is also essential for catalytic activity.,PTM:The N-terminus of isoform 5 is blocked.,sequence Caution:Translated as Sec.,similarity:Belongs to the class-I pyridine nucleotide-disulfide oxidoreductase family.,similarity:Contains 1 glutaredoxin domain.,subunit:Homodimer. Isoform 4 interacts with ESR1 and ESR2.,tissue specificity:Isoform 1 is expressed predominantly in Leydig cells (at protein level). Also expressed in ovary, spleen, heart, liver, kidney and pancreas and in a number of cancer cell lines. Isoform 4 is widely expressed with highest levels in kidney, testis, uterus, ovary, prostate, placenta and fetal liver., |
