Nowadays, Trypanothione-disulfide reductase is in the focus of many people. Its relevance has grown significantly in different aspects, generating debates, research and multiple opinions on the matter. This topic is of great interest to society in general, since it impacts in some way on people's daily lives. In this article, we will explore different perspectives on Trypanothione-disulfide reductase, its evolution over time and its influence in various areas. Likewise, we will analyze how Trypanothione-disulfide reductase has been gaining importance today and what are the implications of its relevance in different areas.
This enzyme belongs to the family of oxidoreductases, specifically those acting on a sulfur group of donors with NAD+ or NADP+ as acceptor. The systematic name of this enzyme class is trypanothione:NADP+ oxidoreductase. Other names in common use include trypanothione reductase, and NADPH2:trypanothione oxidoreductase. It employs one cofactor, FAD.
