TXNRD2 Gene

Name thioredoxin reductase 2
Description 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 a mitochondrial form important for scavenging reactive oxygen species in mitochondria. It 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. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms, including a few localized in the cytosol and some lacking the C-terminal Sec residue, have been found for this gene.

Summary
{"type": "root", "children": [{"type": "p", "children": [{"type": "t", "text": "\nTXNRD2 is a mitochondrial selenoenzyme that plays a central role in maintaining redox homeostasis by catalyzing the NADPH‐dependent reduction of mitochondrial thioredoxin 2. Its enzymatic properties include a substrate specificity distinct from its cytosolic counterpart, enabling selective reduction of Trx2 and thereby controlling reactive oxygen species in the mitochondrial compartment. In addition, TXNRD2 activity can be modulated by protein–protein interactions—for example, binding by p53R2 stimulates its catalytic function—and its redox activity is essential for efficient reduction of downstream peroxiredoxins, which in turn helps preserve cell viability under oxidative stress conditions."}, {"type": "fg", "children": [{"type": "fg_fs", "start_ref": "1", "end_ref": "4"}]}, {"type": "t", "text": "\n\n"}, {"type": "p", "children": [{"type": "t", "text": "\nBeyond its fundamental biochemical role, alterations in TXNRD2—whether by genetic variation, dysregulated expression or impaired enzymatic activity—have been implicated in a broad spectrum of human diseases. In ocular disorders such as primary open-angle, angle-closure and pseudoexfoliation glaucoma, certain TXNRD2 single nucleotide polymorphisms have been associated with altered susceptibility, potentially by affecting the redox balance in retinal ganglion cells. Genetic studies have also revealed links between TXNRD2 variants and diverse malignancies (including hepatocellular carcinoma, breast cancer, gastric cancer, colorectal cancer and lung adenocarcinoma), with functional studies suggesting that modulation of TXNRD2 may influence tumor cell proliferation, invasion and metastasis. Moreover, TXNRD2 influences cardiovascular health—its dysfunction is linked to dilated cardiomyopathy and myocardial infarction—and has been implicated in endothelial cell regulation and adrenal steroidogenesis. Additional associations have been reported in degenerative skeletal disorders such as Kashin–Beck disease, in which impaired TXNRD2-mediated mitochondrial antioxidant defense may contribute to cartilage degeneration, as well as in studies of 22q11.2 duplications affecting cognition and behavior."}, {"type": "fg", "children": [{"type": "fg_fs", "start_ref": "5", "end_ref": "24"}]}, {"type": "t", "text": "\n\n"}, {"type": "p", "children": [{"type": "t", "text": "\nTXNRD2 also appears to have critical roles in skeletal health.
