| PF21352 | Thioredoxin 2, N-terminal | domain |
This entry represents the N-terminal domain of thioredoxin 2, which is a zinc finger domain, unusual in thioredoxin proteins [1,2]. Thio2 reduces disulfide bonds and is an efficient electron donor for the essential enzyme ribonucleotide reductase. This domain may mediate protein-protein interactions [1].
