Summary
TXNIP (thioredoxin interacting protein, HGNC:16952) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 1q21.1, encoding Thioredoxin-interacting protein (Q9H3M7). May act as an oxidative stress mediator by inhibiting thioredoxin activity or by limiting its bioavailability.
This gene encodes a thioredoxin-binding protein that is a member of the alpha arrestin protein family. Thioredoxin is a thiol-oxidoreductase that is a major regulator of cellular redox signaling which protects cells from oxidative stress. This protein inhibits the antioxidative function of thioredoxin resulting in the accumulation of reactive oxygen species and cellular stress. This protein also functions as a regulator of cellular metabolism and of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress. This protein may also function as a tumor suppressor. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants.

All UniProt accessions (1): Q9H3M7
UniProt curated annotations — full annotation on UniProt →
Function. May act as an oxidative stress mediator by inhibiting thioredoxin activity or by limiting its bioavailability. Interacts with COPS5 and restores COPS5-induced suppression of CDKN1B stability, blocking the COPS5-mediated translocation of CDKN1B from the nucleus to the cytoplasm. Functions as a transcriptional repressor, possibly by acting as a bridge molecule between transcription factors and corepressor complexes, and over-expression will induce G0/G1 cell cycle arrest. Required for the maturation of natural killer cells. Acts as a suppressor of tumor cell growth. Inhibits the proteasomal degradation of DDIT4, and thereby contributes to the inhibition of the mammalian target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1).
Subunit / interactions. Homodimer; disulfide-linked. Interacts with TXN/thioredoxin through its redox-active site. Interacts with transcriptional repressors ZBTB16, ZBTB32 and HDAC1. Interacts with DDIT4.
Subcellular location. Cytoplasm. Nucleus.
Post-translational modifications. Ubiquitinated; undergoes heterotypic ‘Lys-48’-/‘Lys-63’-branched polyubiquitination catalyzed by ITCH and UBR5 resulting in proteasomal degradation. Deubiquitinated by USP5, leading to TXNIP stabilization.
Induction. By 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D-3 and TGFB1. Down-regulated in response to oxidative stress.
Similarity. Belongs to the arrestin family.

Enriched among interaction partners
Reactome pathways and GO biological processes over-represented among this gene’s 43 IntAct physical interaction partners (hypergeometric vs the genome-wide background, BH-FDR, gene-set size 15–500, ranked by fold). A functional readout of the neighbourhood — distinct from this gene’s own memberships above, and biased toward well-studied / hub proteins, so read it as themes rather than proof.
