Storage Instruction
If unopened the kit may be stored at 2-8°C for up to 1 month. If the kit will not be used within 1 month, store the components separately, according to the component table in the manual.
This kit recognizes Human TrxR1 in samples. No significant cross-reactivity or interference between Human TrxR1 and analogues was observed.
Sample Type
Serum, plasma and other biological fluids
Additional Info
Tissue Specificity
Isoform 1: Expressed predominantly in Leydig cells (at protein level). Also expressed in ovary, spleen, heart, liver, kidney and pancreas and in a number of cancer cell lines. Isoform 4: Widely expressed with highest levels in kidney, testis, uterus, ovary, prostate, placenta and fetal liver.
Post Translational Modifications
Isoform 5: The N-terminus is blocked. ISGylated.
Function
Reduces disulfideprotein thioredoxin (Trx) to its dithiol-containing form. Homodimeric flavoprotein involved in the regulation of cellular redox reactions, growth and differentiation. Contains a selenocysteine residue at the C-terminal active site that is essential for catalysis (Probable). Also has reductase activity on hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). Isoform 1: Induces actin and tubulin polymerization, leading to formation of cell membrane protrusions. Isoform 4: Enhances the transcriptional activity of estrogen receptors ESR1 and ESR2. Isoform 5: Enhances the transcriptional activity of the estrogen receptor ESR2 only. Mediates cell death induced by a combination of interferon-beta and retinoic acid.
