Gene: TXNRD3
Official Full Name: thioredoxin reductase 3provided by HGNC
Gene Summary: 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 the third TrxR, which unlike the other two isozymes, contains an additional N-terminal glutaredoxin (Grx) domain, and shows highest expression in testis. The Grx domain allows this isozyme to participate in both Trx and glutathione systems. 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 have been found for this gene. Experimental evidence suggests the use of a non-AUG (CUG) codon as a translation initiation codon (PMID:20018845).

TXNRD3 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are specialized cellular models engineered to lack the expression of the thioredoxin reductase 3 (TXNRD3) gene. This gene encodes an enzyme critical for maintaining redox homeostasis within cells, influencing various physiological processes including antioxidant defense, cell proliferation, and apoptosis. By utilizing CRISPR/Cas9 or other gene-editing technologies, these cell lines provide researchers with a powerful tool to study the biological functions and regulatory networks mediated by TXNRD3.
The primary function of TXNRD3 knockout cells is to elucidate the role of TXNRD3 in cellular responses to oxidative stress and to investigate its involvement in a range of diseases, including cancer and degenerative disorders. In these cell lines, the loss of TXNRD3 can lead to altered cellular signaling pathways, enhanced susceptibility to oxidative damage, and changes in metabolic processes, making them invaluable for research in redox biology.
The scientific importance of these cell lines extends to both fundamental research and clinical applications. They are instrumental for drug discovery efforts targeting redox-related pathways and for developing therapeutic strategies aimed at modulating redox status for various ailments. Additionally, TXNRD3 knockouts are pivotal in cancer research, where understanding the enzymatic balance of thioredoxins can inform treatment regimens.
Compared to other gene knockout models, TXNRD3 Gene Knockout Cell Lines offer unique advantages, including well-characterized backgrounds, reproducibility in experimental results, and the ability to combine with other genetic modifications. These features streamline experimental design and enhance data reliability, providing researchers with a definitive insight into the biological effects of TXNRD3 deficiency.
