Thioredoxin 2

UniProtKB accession:  Q8IDP4

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Participates in various redox reactions through the reversible oxidation of its active center dithiol to a disulfide and catalyzes dithiol-disulfide exchange reactions (PubMed:16910770, PubMed:22355694). As part of the translocon PTEX complex, plays a role in the export of parasite proteins into the host erythrocyte (By similarity). The translocon PTEX complex is a multi-protein machinery resident in the parasite parasitophorous vacuolar membrane, responsible for protein secretion into host cells (PubMed:19536257). May contribute to the unfolding of proteins containing the PEXEL localization motif before their passage through the translocon or regulate the PTEX complex function (PubMed:19536257).
