Switch #:
SWTI000481
Switch type:
Binary
Switch subtype:
Pre-translational

Description:
Alternative splicing removes the NRBOX motif of Isoform TXNRD1_v2 of Thioredoxin reductase 1, cytoplasmic (TXNRD1), abrogating binding to Estrogen receptor (ESR1). Unlike splice variants without the NRBOX motif, TrxR1b (also known as Isoform TXNRD1_v2 of Thioredoxin reductase 1, cytoplasmic (TXNRD1)) is identified within the nucleus. TrxR1b enhanced the transcriptional activity of the estrogen receptors ESR1 and ESR2, possibly by providing a reduced environment in the immediate vicinity of the ERs.

Participants:
(1) Isoform TXNRD1_v2 of Thioredoxin reductase 1, cytoplasmic (TXNRD1)
(2) Estrogen receptor (ESR1)
