the enzyme belongs to the member of the thioredoxin (Trx)-fold protein family. The enzyme lacks activity with classical thioredoxin, Trx1, substrates. Human enzyme TRP14 has high enzymatic activity in reduction of L-cystine, where the catalytic efficiency coupled to Trx reductase 1 (TrxR1) using NADPH is fivefold higher than the activity of enzyme Trx1 alone. Trx1-mediated L-cystine reduction is inefficient in the presence of other preferred Trx1 substrates whereas, conversely, TRP14 seems to be a more dedicated L-cystine reductase |
