Txnip Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable enzyme inhibitor activity and ubiquitin protein ligase binding activity. Involved in several processes, including response to estradiol; response to hydrogen peroxide; and response to progesterone. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm. Used to study renal cell carcinoma. Biomarker of colorectal cancer; glaucoma; and stomach cancer. Orthologous to human TXNIP (thioredoxin interacting protein). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

Protein Domains
A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in rat Txnip often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
- arrestin domain
- ubiquitin protein ligase binding
- Arrestin (or S-antigen), C-terminal domain
- enzyme inhibitor activity
- protein binding
- Arrestin (or S-antigen), N-terminal domain
- proline tyrosine motif
