MeSH Heading
Thioredoxins
Tree Number(s)
D12.776.915
Unique ID
D013879
RDF Unique Identifier
http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D013879
Scope Note
Hydrogen-donating proteins that participates in a variety of biochemical reactions including ribonucleotide reduction and reduction of PEROXIREDOXINS. Thioredoxin is oxidized from a dithiol to a disulfide when acting as a reducing cofactor. The disulfide form is then reduced by NADPH in a reaction catalyzed by THIOREDOXIN REDUCTASE.
