Application

Thioredoxin from Escherichia coli has been used in thioredoxin reductase assay, peroxidase-coupled thioredoxin system assay and peroxiredoxin assay.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Thioredoxin from Escherichia coli catalyzes REDOX reactions and has a role in various biological processes. It modulates the structure and activity of many proteins. The enzyme thioredoxin reductase catalyzes the reduction of thioredoxin. Thioredoxin also has a role in oxidative stress response.

Mediates the reduction of disulfide bonds in proteins.
