Characterization of mitochondrial thioredoxin reductase from C. elegans.

Biochemical and biophysical research communications - 4 Aug 2006

Lacey Brian M, Hondal Robert J

Abstract excerpt

Thioredoxin reductase catalyzes the NADPH-dependent reduction of the catalytic disulfide bond of thioredoxin. In mammals and other higher eukaryotes, thioredoxin reductases contain the rare amino acid selenocysteine at the active site. The mitochondrial enzyme from Caenorhabditis elegans, however, contains a cysteine residue in place of selenocysteine. The mitochondrial C. elegans thioredoxin reductase was cloned...
