| Comment(s) |
|---|
- A group of enzymes of broad specificity.
- R may be an aliphatic, aromatic or heterocyclic group; X may be a
sulfate, nitrile or halide group.
- Also catalyzes the addition of aliphatic epoxides and arene oxides to
glutathione, the reduction of polyol nitrate by glutathione to polyol
and nitrile, certain isomerization reactions and disulfide
interchange.
- Formerly EC 1.8.6.1, EC 2.5.1.12, EC 2.5.1.13, EC 2.5.1.14 and
EC 4.4.1.7.
