Inhibitors Comment Organism Structure
additional information SecTRAPs (selenium compromised thioredoxin reductase-derived apoptotic proteins) can be formed from the selenoprotein thioredoxin reductase by targeting of its selenocysteine residue with electrophiles, or by its removal through C-terminal truncation. SecTRAPs are devoid of thioredoxin reductase activity but can induce rapid cell death in cultured cancer cell lines by a gain of function. Human and rat SecTRAPs induce cell death in human A549 and HeLa cells Homo sapiens
