| Description | This entry represents glutathione reductase (GSHR or GRase) from proteobacteria, cyanobacteria and plants. This protein family is one of two closely related subfamilies of GRase, both also closely related to trypanothione reductase. GRase regenerates glutathione disulphide and NADPH from oxidized glutathione and NADP. This enzyme is responsible for maintaining the cellular thiol/disulphide status and for protecting against reactive oxygen species (ROS) such as hydrogen peroxide [ ]. In plants, this enzyme play important roles in the sulphur assimilation pathway and for an efficient photosynthesis [, ]. In Sinorhizobium meliloti, this enzyme is required for redox homeostasis and oxidative stress protection and contributes to nitrogen fixation symbiosis []. | Name | Glutathione reductase |
| Short Name | GSHR | Type | Family |
