Description
Product Characteristics: The kit is a sandwich enzyme immunoassay for in vitro quantitative measurement of TrxR2 in human serum, plasma, tissue homogenates, cell lysates.
Target Information: Thioredoxin reductase (TR) is a dimeric NADPH-dependent FAD containing enzyme that catalyzes the reduction of the active site disulfide of thioredoxin and other substrates. TR is a member of a family of pyridine nucleotide-disulfide oxidoreductases and is a key enzyme in the regulation of the intracellular redox environment. Three thioredoxin reductase genes have been found that encode selenocysteine containing proteins. This gene partially overlaps the COMT gene on chromosome 22. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
