Enzyme Information

2.5.1.18
Glutathione transferase.
based on mapping to UniProt Q9Y2Q3
RX + glutathione = HX + R-S-glutathione.
-!- A group of enzymes of broad specificity. -!- R may be an aliphatic, aromatic or heterocyclic group; X may be a sulfate, nitrile or halide group. -!- Also catalyzes the addition of aliphatic epoxides and arene oxides to glutathione, the reduction of polyol nitrate by glutathione to polyol and nitrile, certain isomerization reactions and disulfide interchange. -!- Formerly EC 1.8.6.1, EC 2.5.1.12, EC 2.5.1.13, EC 2.5.1.14 and EC 4.4.1.7.
