The Function of TXNRD1
Isoform 1 may possess glutaredoxin activity as well as thioredoxin reductase activity and induces actin and tubulin polymerization, leading to formation of cell membrane protrusions. Isoform 4 enhances the transcriptional activity of estrogen receptors alpha and beta while isoform 5 enhances the transcriptional activity of the beta receptor only. Isoform 5 also mediates cell death induced by a combination of interferon-beta and retinoic acid.

Technical
The following transcription factors affect gene expression:
Tissue specificity:
Isoform 1 is expressed predominantly in Leydig cells (at protein level). Also expressed in ovary, spleen, heart, liver, kidney and pancreas and in a number of cancer cell lines. Isoform 4 is widely expressed with highest levels in kidney, testis, uterus, ovary, prostate, placenta and fetal liver.
Gene Pathways:
Induction:
Isoform 5 is induced by a combination of interferon-beta and retinoic acid (at protein level). Isoform 1 is induced by estradiol or testosterone in HeLa cells.
Cofactor:
Binds 1 FAD per subunit.
