TRXB (Thioredoxin reductase) is a ubiquitous enzyme which is involved in many cellular processes such as cell growth, p53 activity, and protection against oxidation stress. The mammalian Thioredoxin reductase reduces thioredoxins as well as non-disulfide substrates such as selenite, lipoic acids, lipid hydroperoxides, and hydrogen peroxide. Recombinant enzyme corresponding to aa1-321 of human TRXB expressed in E. coli.
