    Summary
    The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the pyridine nucleotide-disulfide oxidoreductase family, and is a member of the thioredoxin (Trx) system. Three thioredoxin reductase (TrxR) isozymes are found in mammals. TrxRs are selenocysteine-containing flavoenzymes, which reduce thioredoxins, as well as other substrates, and play a key role in redox homoeostasis. This gene encodes an ubiquitously expressed, cytosolic form of TrxR, which functions as a homodimer containing FAD, and selenocysteine (Sec) at the active site. Sec is encoded by UGA codon that normally signals translation termination. The 3' UTRs of selenoprotein mRNAs contain a conserved stem-loop structure, the Sec insertion sequence (SECIS) element, which is necessary for the recognition of UGA as a Sec codon rather than as a stop signal. Alternative splicing, primarily at the 5' end, results in transcript variants encoding same or different isoforms, including a glutaredoxin-containing isoform that is predominantly expressed in testis.

      Status: REVIEWED

      Description
      Transcript Variant: This variant (7, also known as beta 1) represents use of an alternate upstream promoter, and contains additional exons at the 5' end compared to variant 1. The encoded isoform (5, also known as TXNRD1_v3 or v3) has a longer and distinct N-terminus, resulting from translation initiation at an in-frame upstream start codon, compared to isoform 1. It is predominantly expressed in Leydig cells of testis, and contains an atypical N-terminal glutaredoxin domain, which induces actin and tubulin polymerization, leading to formation of cell membrane protrusions (PMID:18042542).
