'''Thioredoxin'''(Trx) is a protein present in all organisms, from bacterias to complex beings as humans.

Trx1 has an active site composed of 2 cysteines separated by 2 aminoacids (<scene name='91/911850/Trx_cys-active_site/2'>Cys32 - X - X - Cys35</scene>) which catalyses the reduction of other thiol-proteins and becomes oxidized. It is reduced back by '''[[Thioredoxin Reductase]]'''(TrxR), which, in the end, is reduced by '''NADPH'''. Together, the two proteins and NADPH form the system Trx<ref>Lu, J.; Holmgren, A.
