Description_x000D_ General description_x000D_ Thioredoxin reductase 1 (TNXRD1), cytoplasmic is an enzyme in humans that is encoded by the TXNRD1 gene. This gene encodes a member of the family of pyridine nucleotide oxidoreductases and is localized on human chromosome 12._x000D_ Biochem/physiol Actions_x000D_ Thioredoxin reductase 1 (TNXRD1) reduces thioredoxins as well as other substrates. It plays a role in selenium metabolism and protection against oxidative stress. The functional enzyme is thought to be a homodimer which uses flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD) as a cofactor. Inhibition of TXNRD1 activity may provide for potential treatments of cancer, acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS), autoimmune diseases as well as bacterial infections and parasitic diseases._x000D_ Physical form_x000D_ 0.5 mg/mL solution in PBS (pH 7.4) containing 20% glycerol._x000D_ Preparation Note_x000D_ Centrifuge the vial prior to opening._x000D_ Other Notes_x000D_ MGSSHHHHHH SSGLVPRGSH MYDYDLIIIG GGSGGLAAAK EAAQYGKKVM VLDFVTPTPL GTRWGLGGTC VNVGCIPKKL MHQAALLGQA LQDSRNYGWK VEETVKHDWD RMIEAVQNHI GSLNWGYRVA LREKKVVYEN AYGQFIGPHR IKATNNKGKE KIYSAERFLI ATGERPRYLG IPGDKEYCIS SDDLFSLPYC PGKTLVVGAS YVALECAGFL AGIGLDVTVM VRSILLRGFD QDMANKIGEH MEEHGIKFIR QFVPIKVEQI EAGTPGRLRV VAQSTNSEEI IEGEYNTVML AIGRDACTRK IGLETVGVKI NEKTGKIPVT DEEQTNVPYI YAIGDILEDK VELTPVAIQA GRLLAQRLYA GSTVKCDYEN VPTTVFTPLE YGACGLSEEK AVEKFGEENI EVYHSYFWPL EWTIPSRDNN KCYAKIICNT KDNERVVGFH VLGPNAGEVT QGFAAALKCG LTKKQLDSTI GIHPVCAEVF TTLSVTKRSG ASILQAGC
