This paper describes that thioredoxin has many contexts it interacts in and therefore can be called the "moonlight protein".

One of its functions in nearly all organisms is DNA synthesis. "Thioredoxin is a hydrogen donor for ribonucleotide reductase"

This paper describes that thioredoxin has many contexts it interacts in and therefore can be called the "moonlight protein".

One function it does in many organisms is repairing proteins. "Thioredoxin is hydrogen donor for methionine sulfoxide reductases".

This paper describes that thioredoxin has many contexts it interacts in and therefore can be called the "moonlight protein".

One function that it does in many organisms is the reduction of hydrogen peroxide. "oxidative stress and apoptosis induction, require reduction by thioredoxin"

This paper describes that thioredoxin has many contexts it interacts in and therefore can be called the "moonlight protein".

One of its roles in all organisms is protein disulfide reduction. "Thioredoxin is a key player in keeping intracellular protein disulfides generally reduced."

Previous experiments had established the amino acid sequence of the N-terminal cyanogen bromide fragment of thioredoxin and the present results give the complete amino acid sequence of thioredoxin from Escherichia coli B. The molecule contains 108 residues in a single polypeptide chain with a molecular weight of 11,657 as calculated from the sequence. The functional group of the protein occurs in position 32 to 35 and consists of a disulfide bridge formed by two half-cystine residues separated by a glycine and a proline residue. No metals were found as part of the functional group.
