Crystal Structure of Thioredoxin 1ert
Thioredoxin (Trx) is an enzyme which facilitates the reduction of proteins by cysteine thiol-disulfide exchange. They contain a CXXC motif.
- Trx-1 is a mammalian cellular protein.
- Trx-2 is mitochondria-specific.
In higher plants, Trx are divided to 6 groups based on their sequence. Trx M, X and Y are found in prokaryotes while F, H and O are found in eukaryotes.
