Synonyms:Nucleoredoxin like 1, Nucleoredoxin like protein 1, NXNL1, RDCVF, Thioredoxin like protein 6, TXNL6 Background:TXNL6, also named as NXNL1, belongs to the nucleoredoxin family. It may play a role in cone cell viability, slowing down cone degeneration, does not seem to play a role in degenerating rods. TXNL6 is a Novel Oxidative Stress-Induced Reducing System for Methionine Sulfoxide Reductase A Repair of a-Crystallin and Cytochrome C in the Eye Lens. It serve as a reducing system for MsrA repair of the essential lens chaperone a-crystallin/sHSP and mitochondrial cytochrome c. TXNL6 is induced at high levels in human lens epithelial cells exposed to H2O2-induced oxidative stress.(PMID:21079812)
