SYNONYMS
Glutathione reductase mitochondrial, GR, GRase, GSR, GLUR, GRD1.
INTRODUCTION
Glutathione reductase (GSR) belongs to the class-I pyridine nucleotide-disulfide oxidoreductase family. The GSR enzyme is a homodimeric flavoprotein and has a role in maintaining glutathione (GSH) in its reduced form by catalyzing the reduction of glutathione disulfide (GSSG): GSSG + NADPH + H+ ->2GSH + NADP+. In the majority of eukaryotic cells, GSR upholds the ratio of [GSH] / [GSSG], and partakes in quite a few critical functions such as the detoxification of reactive oxygen species as well as protein and DNA biosynthesis.
DESCRIPTION
GSR Human Recombinant produced in E.coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 504 amino acids (43-522) and having a molecular mass of 54.3kDa.
GSR is fused to a 24 amino acid His-tag at N-terminus & purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
