Functional Family Arsenate reductase

Enzyme Information

1.20.4.4
Arsenate reductase (thioredoxin).
based on mapping to UniProt P45947
Arsenate + thioredoxin = arsenite + thioredoxin disulfide + H(2)O.
-!- The enzyme, characterized in bacteria of the Firmicutes phylum, is specific for thioredoxin. -!- It has no activity with glutaredoxin (cf. EC 1.20.4.1). -!- Although the arsenite formed is more toxic than arsenate, it can be extruded from some bacteria by EC 7.3.2.7; in other organisms, arsenite can be methylated by EC 2.1.1.137 in a pathway that produces non-toxic organoarsenical compounds. -!- The enzyme also has the activity of EC 3.1.3.48.
