Abstract excerpt
Thioredoxin is a ubiquitous redox protein that acts as an electron donor via its conserved dithiol motif (C32GPC35), catalyzing dithiol-disulfide exchange to regulate the redox state of target proteins. It supports antioxidant defense via peroxiredoxins, facilitates DNA synthesis by donating electrons to ribonucleotide reductase, and regulates redox-sensitive signaling pathways, including those controlling...
