Thioredoxin reductase peptide, corresponding to residues 53–67 in thioredoxin reductase (TrxR), is used in thioredoxin reductase research. Mammalian thioredoxin reductase (TR) catalyzes the reduction of the redox-active disulfide bond of thioredoxin (Trx) and is essential for cellular redox homeostasis.
Dvd-445 has good anti-cancer effect.Dvd-445 is an effective peptide covalent thioredoxin reductase 1 (TrxR1) inhibitor with IC50 value of 0.60 mol L M.
