thioredoxinrelated
Thioredoxin-related is a term that generally refers to proteins that are structurally and functionally similar to thioredoxin. Thioredoxin is a small, ubiquitous redox-active protein found in all known organisms. It plays a crucial role in maintaining the cellular redox balance by catalyzing disulfide bond reduction. This reduction is essential for a variety of cellular processes, including DNA replication, transcription, repair, and protein folding.
Proteins that are thioredoxin-related often share a conserved tertiary structure characterized by a thioredoxin fold, which
