Introduction

Thioredoxins are small disulphide-containing redox proteins (within the conserved Cys-Gly-Pro-Cys active site) that have been found in all the kingdoms of living organisms. Thioredoxin contains a single disulfide active site and serves as a general protein disulphide oxidoreductase. Thioredoxins are involved in the first unique step in DNA synthesis. It interacts with a broad range of proteins by a redox mechanism based on reversible oxidation of two cysteine thiol groups to a disulphide, accompanied by the transfer of two electrons and two protons. The net result is the covalent interconversion of a disulphide and a dithiol. It has been suggested that thioredoxin may catalyze the formation of correct disulfides during protein folding because of its ability to act as an efficient oxidoreductant. Trx also provides control over a number of transcription factors affecting cell proliferation and death through a mechanism referred to as redox regulation.

Description

Thioredoxin Human Recombinant produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated, polypeptide chain containing 125 amino acids (1-105 a.a.) and having a molecular mass of 13.9 kDa (Molecular weight on SDS-PAGE will appear higher). TXN protein is fused to a 20 amino acid His-Tag at N-terminus and purified by standard chromatography.

Source

Escherichia Coli.

Physical Appearance

Sterile filtered colorless solution.

Formulation

TXN1 solution containing 1x PBS pH 7.4.

Stability

Thioredoxin human although stable at 4ºC for 1 week, should be stored desiccated below -18ºC. Please prevent freeze thaw cycles.
