INTRODUCTION

TXNRD1 belongs to the selenium-containing pyridine nucleotide-disulphide oxidoreductase family, which has a conserved catalytic site of Cys-Val-Asn-Val-Gly-Cys. TXNRD1 decreases thioredoxins as well as other substrates, and participates in selenium metabolism and protection against oxidative stress. Inhibition of TXNRD1 activity serves as a potential treatment for cancer, AIDS and other autoimmune diseases as well as bacterial infections and parasitic diseases.

DESCRIPTION

TXNRD1 Human Recombinant produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated,
polypeptide chain containing 508 amino acids (161-647 a.a.) and having a molecular mass of 55.7 kDa. TXNRD1 protein is fused to a 20 amino acid His tag at N-terminus and is purified by standard chromatography.

SOURCE

Escherichia Coli.

PHYSICAL APPEARANCE

Sterile filtered colorless solution.

FORMULATION

TXNRD1 Human solution (0.5mg/ml) containing 1x PBS pH-7.4 & 10% glycerol.

STABILITY

Store at 4°C if entire vial will be used within 2-4 weeks. Store, frozen at -20°C for longer periods of time. 
For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA).
Avoid multiple freeze-thaw cycles.
