Abstract

This report describes the cloning of a human cDNA that encodes a new protein (Txl, Thioredoxin-like) that belongs to the expanding family of thioredoxins based on sequence comparison of the deduced amino acid sequence. This cDNA, with a total length of 1,278 bp, consists of 205 bp of 5'-untranslated sequence (including an in frame stop codon), an open reading frame of 870 bp and a 203 bp fragment of 3'-untranslated sequence. The coding sequence predicts a protein of 289 amino acids with two distinct domains: an N-terminal domain of 105 residues homologous to the rest of mammalian thioredoxins containing the conserved active site (CGPC) and a C-terminal domain of 184 residues with no homology with any other protein in the database. Northern blot analysis indicates that the txl probe hybridizes to a 1.3 Kb mRNA and is ubiquitously expressed in human tissues with the highest expression in stomach, testis and bone marrow.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 9. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 14 July 2018.
All research outputs
#3,798,945
of 25,374,647 outputs
Outputs from Biochemical & Biophysical Research Communications
#1,282
of 26,638 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#4,632
of 95,114 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Biochemical & Biophysical Research Communications
#12
of 144 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,374,647 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done well and is in the 83rd percentile: it's in the top 25% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 26,638 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 4.5. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 90% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 95,114 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 92% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 144 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done well, scoring higher than 82% of its contemporaries.
