Bis-gamma-glutamylcystine reductase

Class of enzymes

Field	Value
Name	bis-gamma-glutamylcystine reductase
EC_number	1.8.1.13
CAS_number	117056-54-9
GO_code	0047135

Bis-gamma-glutamylcystine reductase () is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

:2 gamma-glutamylcysteine + NADP+ \rightleftharpoons bis-gamma-glutamylcystine + NADPH + H+

Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are gamma-glutamylcysteine and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate ion, whereas its 3 products are bis-gamma-glutamylcystine, nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate, and hydrogen ion.

This enzyme belongs to the family of oxidoreductases, specifically those acting on a sulfur group of donors with NAD+ or NADP+ as acceptor. The systematic name of this enzyme class is gamma-glutamylcysteine:NADP+ oxidoreductase. This enzyme is also called NADPH2:bis-gamma-glutamylcysteine oxidoreductase. This enzyme participates in glutathione metabolism.
