In
enzymology, a glutathione—homocystine transhydrogenase (EC 1.8.4.1) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction
- 2 glutathione + homocystine glutathione disulfide + 2 homocysteine
Thus, the two
substrates of this enzyme are glutathione and homocystine, whereas its two products are glutathione disulfide and homocysteine
.
This enzyme belongs to the family of
glutathione metabolism
.
