Enzyme Information

1.8.5.7
Glutathionyl-hydroquinone reductase.
based on mapping to UniProt P42620
Glutathione + 2-(glutathione-S-yl)-hydroquinone = glutathione disulfide + hydroquinone.
-!- 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.
