    TXN Gene Information

    HGNC symbol
    TXN 
    Aliases
    TRX; TRDX; TRX1 
    Common name
    thioredoxin 
    Entrez Id
    7295
    Description
    The protein encoded by this gene acts as a homodimer and is involved in many redox reactions. The encoded protein is active in the reversible S-nitrosylation of cysteines in certain proteins, which is part of the response to intracellular nitric oxide. This protein is found in the cytoplasm. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2011]
