Summary: Predicted to enable protein-disulfide reductase activity. Predicted to be involved in cell redox homeostasis. Located in mitochondrion. Is expressed in body wall musculature; head neurons; and vulval muscle. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in combined oxidative phosphorylation deficiency 29. Orthologous to human TXN2 (thioredoxin 2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]

What's a GeneRIF?

Mitochondrial thioredoxin system is required for enhanced stress resistance and extended longevity in long-lived mitochondrial mutants.
Title: Mitochondrial thioredoxin system is required for enhanced stress resistance and extended longevity in long-lived mitochondrial mutants.
Suppression of the C. elegans thioredoxin orthologs trx-1 and trx-2, involved in the redox chaperone activity of exo-3, overrides the protective effect of cep-1 RNAi treatment on neuronal integrity, neuronal function, mean and maximum life span.
Title: Apurinic/apyrimidinic endonuclease 1, p53, and thioredoxin are linked in control of aging in C. elegans.
