    basic FUNCTION
  • key enzyme in the regulation of the intracellular redox environment
  • mitochondrial TXNRD3 is much less dependent upon the use of selenocysteine (Sec) for the reduction of small molecules, as TXNRD1
  • role of TXNRD1 gene in modulating physical decline at extreme ages, further supporting the investigation of thioredoxin pathway in relation to the quality of human aging.
  • suppresses anabolic metabolism and adipogenesis by inhibition of intracellular signaling pathways downstream of insulin stimulation
  • is an essential selenium-containing enzyme involved in detoxification of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and redox signaling
  • overexpression of the cytosolic form, TXNRD1, did not produce a lifespan extension in males flies
  • selenium-dependent oxidoreductases TXNRD1 and TXNRD2 should be considered as key components of signaling pathways that control cell differentiation and cellular stress responses
  • is a key regulator involved in the ferroptosis of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) cells induced by cysteine depletion
  • TXNRD1 is an essential component of the thioredoxin system, a major disulfide reducing system that modulates multiple cellular processes such as antioxidant response, apoptosis, and cell proliferation
