    Summary
    The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the pyridine nucleotide-disulfide oxidoreductase family, and is a member of the thioredoxin (Trx) system. Three thioredoxin reductase (TrxR) isozymes are found in mammals. TrxRs are selenocysteine-containing flavoenzymes, which reduce thioredoxins, as well as other substrates, and play a key role in redox homoeostasis. This gene encodes a mitochondrial form important for scavenging reactive oxygen species in mitochondria. It functions as a homodimer containing FAD, and selenocysteine (Sec) at the active site. Sec is encoded by UGA codon that normally signals translation termination. The 3' UTRs of selenoprotein mRNAs contain a conserved stem-loop structure, the Sec insertion sequence (SECIS) element, which is necessary for the recognition of UGA as a Sec codon rather than as a stop signal. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms, including a few localized in the cytosol and some lacking the C-terminal Sec residue, have been found for this gene.

    RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

    These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

    These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.

      Transcript Variant: This variant (2, also known as TrxR2A) uses an alternate in-frame acceptor splice site at an internal coding exon, and contains an unspliced 3' UTR compared to variant 1. The resulting isoform (2) is 1 aa shorter than isoform 1. It is localized to the mitochondria, and its overexpression results in increased apoptosis (PMID:16298692).

      Transcript Variant: This variant (3) contains an alternate 5' terminal exon, and uses an alternate in-frame translation initiation codon compared to variant 1. The resulting isoform (3) has a distinct and shorter N-terminus lacking the N-terminal mitochondrial targeting signal, compared to isoform 1, so it is likely localized in the cytosol.

      Transcript Variant: This variant (7) uses an alternate acceptor splice site at the penultimate exon compared to variant 1. It is represented as non-coding because the use of the 5'-most translation start codon, as used in variant 1, renders this transcript a candidate for nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD).
