Summary

TXN2 (thioredoxin 2, HGNC:17772) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 22q12.3, encoding Thioredoxin, mitochondrial (Q99757). Important for the control of mitochondrial reactive oxygen species homeostasis, apoptosis regulation and cell viability Is involved in various redox reactions including the reduction of protein disulfide bonds, through the reversible oxidation of its active center dithiol to a d….

This nuclear gene encodes a mitochondrial member of the thioredoxin family, a group of small multifunctional redox-active proteins. The encoded protein may play important roles in the regulation of the mitochondrial membrane potential and in protection against oxidant-induced apoptosis.
