UniProt Comments
Thioredoxin reductase (TR) that exhibits both TR and thioredoxin (Trx) activities. Contains a C-terminal functional Trx domain. Functions as an electron donor for plastidial 2-Cys peroxiredoxins and participates in a NADPH-dependent hydrogen peroxide scavenging system in chloroplasts in the dark. Required for chlorophyll biosynthesis and biogenesis of the photosynthetic apparatus. Activates aerobic cyclase which converts Mg-protoporhyrin monomethyl ester into protochlorophyllide. Involved in a light-dependent regulation of starch biosynthesis by redox activation of the ADP-glucose pyrophosphorylase (AGPase), a central enzyme of starch synthesis.
