trxr-1

Caenorhabditis elegans

Predicted to enable thioredoxin-disulfide reductase (NADP) activity. Involved in ecdysis, collagen and cuticulin-based cuticle. Predicted to be located in cytosol and mitochondrion. Expressed in several structures, including hypodermis; interfacial epithelial cell; intestine; pharynx; and vulva. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis; colorectal adenoma; and colorectal carcinoma. Is an ortholog of human TXNRD3 (thioredoxin reductase 3).
