ENZYME entry: EC 1.8.5.7

PURL: https://purl.expasy.org/enzyme/EC/1.8.5.7
Accepted Name
glutathionyl-hydroquinone reductase
Reaction catalysed
2-(glutathione-S-yl)-hydroquinone + glutathione = hydroquinone + glutathione disulfide
Comment(s)
  • This type of enzymes, which are found in bacteria, halobacteria, fungi, and plants, catalyze the glutathione-dependent reduction of glutathionyl-hydroquinones.
  • The enzyme from the bacterium Sphingobium chlorophenolicum can act on halogenated substrates such as 2,6-dichloro-3-(glutathione-S-yl)- hydroquinone and 2,3,5-trichloro-6-(glutathione-S-yl)-hydroquinone.
  • Substrates for these enzymes are often formed spontaneously by interaction of benzoquinones with glutathione.
