TXNRD1, 161-649aa, (seccys648cys) Human, His tag, E.coli (Bioactivity Validated)
Description
Purity: > 90% by SDS - PAGE Format: Liquid. In 20 mM Tris-HCl buffer (pH8.0) contain.ning 10% Glycerol. TXNRD1, also known as Thioredoxin reductase 1, is a part of a selenium-containing pyridine nucleotide-disulphide oxidoreductase family, which has a conserved catalytic site of Cys-Val-Asn-Val-Gly-Cys. This protein reduces thioredoxins as well as other substrates, and plays a role in selenium metabolism and protection against oxidative stress. Inhibition of TXNRD1 activity may provide for potential treatments of cancer, AIDS and other autoimmune diseases as well as bacterial infections and parasitic diseases. Recombinant human TXNRD1 protein, fused to His-tag at N-terminus, was expressed in E.coli and purified by using conventional chromatography techniques.
