Thioredoxin
This is a small redox-active protein with an exposed dithiol motif (-CXXC-) that cycles between a disulphide and a dithiol. The dithiol reduced form is an important cofactor in a number of biological reduction reactions during which it is converted in to the disulphide form, which is converted back to its reduced dithiol form by the action of thioredoxin reductases.
