- Overview
  - Thioredoxin Human Recombinant produced in E. Coli is a single, non-glycosylated, polypeptide chain containing 125 amino acids (1-105 a.a.) and having a molecular mass of 13.9 kDa (Molecular weight on SDS-PAGE will appear higher). TXN protein is fused to a 20 amino acid His-Tag at N-terminus and purified by standard chromatography. Thioredoxins are small disulphide-containing redox proteins (within the conserved Cys-Gly-Pro-Cys active site) that have been found in all the kingdoms of living organisms. Thioredoxin contains a single disulfide active site and serves as a general protein disulphide oxidoreductase. Thioredoxins are involved in the first unique step in DNA synthesis. It interacts with a broad range of proteins by a redox mechanism based on reversible oxidation of two cysteine thiol groups to a disulphide, accompanied by the transfer of two electrons and two protons. The net result is the covalent interconversion of a disulphide and a dithiol. It has been suggested that thioredoxin may catalyze the formation of correct disulfides during protein folding because of its ability to act as an efficient oxidoreductant. Trx also provides control over a number of transcription factors affecting cell proliferation and death through a mechanism referred to as redox regulation.
