EC number

1.8.1.7

Accepted name

glutathione-disulfide reductase

Reaction

2 glutathione + NADP⁺ = glutathione disulfide + NADPH + H⁺

Other name(s)

glutathione reductase, glutathione reductase (NADPH), NADPH-glutathione reductase, GSH reductase, GSSG reductase, NADPH-GSSG reductase, glutathione S-reductase, NADPH:oxidized-glutathione oxidoreductase

Systematic name

glutathione:NADP⁺ oxidoreductase

CAS registry number

9001-48-3

Comment

A dimeric flavoprotein (FAD); activity is dependent on a redox-active disulfide in each of the active centres.
