Arsenate reductase (glutaredoxin)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In enzymology, an arsenate reductase (glutaredoxin) (EC 1.20.4.1) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

arsenate + glutaredoxin $\rightleftharpoons$ arsenite + glutaredoxin disulfide + H₂O

Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are arsenate and glutaredoxin, whereas its 3 products are arsenite, glutaredoxin disulfide, and H₂O.

This enzyme belongs to the family of oxidoreductases, specifically those acting on phosphorus or arsenic in donor with disulfide as acceptor. The systematic name of this enzyme class is glutharedoxin:arsenate oxidoreductase.
