Structure and Function Analyses of the Thioredoxin 2 and Thioredoxin Reductase Gene in Pacific White Shrimp (<i>Litopenaeus vannamei</i>).

ABSTRACT: The thioredoxin (Trx) system is one of the most significant systems in living organisms as it regulates cellular redox reactions and plays a pivotal protective role within the cell by promoting redox homeostasis. Trx and thioredoxin reductase (TrxR) are the core oxidoreductases of the Trx system. In this study, the novel full-length cDNAs of LvTrx2 and LvTrxR were cloned from Litopenaeus vannamei. The ORFs of LvTrx2 and LvTrxR were 453 bp and 1785 bp, encoding polypeptides consisting of 150 and 596 amino acids. Sequence alignment analysis revealed that the amino acid sequence of LvTrx2 shared a high degree of identity (93%) with that of Penaeus chinensis, while in LvTrxR, it exhibited a similarity level of 95% with previ
