Human TRX-related protein 14 (TRP14)-like family; composed of proteins similar to TRP14, a 14kD cytosolic protein that shows disulfide reductase activity in vitro with a different substrate specificity compared with another human cytosolic protein, TRX1. TRP14 catalyzes the reduction of small disulfide-containing peptides but does not reduce disulfides of ribonucleotide reductase, peroxiredoxin and methionine sulfoxide reductase, which are TRX1 substrates. TRP14 also plays a role in tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha signaling pathways, distinct from that of TRX1. Its depletion promoted TNF-alpha induced activation of c-Jun N-terminal kinase and mitogen-activated protein kinases.
