It does seem a bit odd that this article doesn’t bother to tell us what foods this “key protein” is found in.

I’m swearing off TXNIP. As of today, I’ll never order it again.

"Specifically, the research revealed that a protein called TXNIP controls the ability of beta cells to make insulin, the hormone that regulates blood-sugar levels."

It sounds like TXNIP is in your pancreas.

Proteins going through your gut are going to be hydrolyzed by digestive enzymes to peptides and amino acids.
