NCBI Description of TXNRD2
Thioredoxin reductase (TR) is a dimeric NADPH-dependent FAD containing enzyme that catalyzes the reduction of the active site disulfide of thioredoxin and other substrates. TR is a member of a family of pyridine nucleotide-disulfide oxidoreductases and is a key enzyme in the regulation of the intracellular redox environment. Three thioredoxin reductase genes have been found that encode selenocysteine containing proteins. This gene partially overlaps the COMT gene on chromosome 22. CCDS Note: This CCDS ID represents the protein described in PMIDs: 9923614 and 10215850. This transcript is supported by AF106697.1. It should be noted this transcript is predicted to undergo nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD). However, the protein is represented because it was detected endogenously in PMID: 9923614. It is likely that the majority of transcripts representing this variant will undergo NMD, while some low level of NMD escape may allow for the expression of this protein.
