摘要:
Studies on thioredoxin (Trx) and its related molecules have expanded dramatically recently. Proteins that share the similar active-site sequence, -Cys-Xxx-Yyy-Cys-, are called the Trx family, and the number of Trx family members is increasing. Trx reductase, which reduces oxidized Trx in cooperation with NADPH, has three isoforms, and peroxiredoxin, which is Trx-dependent peroxidase, has six isoforms. In addition to a role as an antioxidant, Trx and its related molecules play crucial roles in the redox regulation of signal transduction. The classical cytosolic Trx1 and truncated Trx80 are released from cells. Plasma/serum levels of Trx1 are good markers for oxidative stress. Exogenous Trx1 shows cytoprotective and antfinflammatory effects and has a good potential for clinical application. This is an update review on Trx and its related molecules.
