Contents

Function

Thioredoxin Glutathione Reductase (TGR) is an enzyme which bridges two detoxification pathways[1]. It is composed of a small glutaredoxin domain at the N-terminal and a large thioredoxin reductase one at the C-terminal.

Relevance

TGR is a therpeutic drug target against schistosomiasis[2].
