Tetrachloroethene reductive dehalogenase

Tetrachloroethene reductive dehalogenase

In enzymology, a tetrachloroethene reductive dehalogenase (EC number|1.97.1.8) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

:trichloroethene + chloride + acceptor ightleftharpoons tetrachloroethene + reduced acceptor

The 3 substrates of this enzyme are trichloroethene, chloride, and acceptor, whereas its two products are tetrachloroethene and reduced acceptor.

This enzyme belongs to the family of oxidoreductases. The systematic name of this enzyme class is acceptor:trichloroethene oxidoreductase (chlorinating). This enzyme is also called tetrachloroethene reductase. This enzyme participates in tetrachloroethene degradation.
