- Glutathione-homocystine transhydrogenase
In
enzymology , a glutathione---homocystine transhydrogenase (EC number|1.8.4.1) is anenzyme that catalyzes thechemical reaction :2 glutathione + homocystine glutathione disulfide + 2 homocysteine
Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are
glutathione andhomocystine , whereas its two products areglutathione disulfide andhomocysteine .This enzyme belongs to the family of
oxidoreductase s, specifically those acting on a sulfur group of donors with a disulfide as acceptor. The systematic name of this enzyme class is glutathione:homocystine oxidoreductase. This enzyme participates inmethionine metabolism andglutathione metabolism .References
