Chlorate reductase

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In enzymology, a chlorate reductase (EC 1.97.1.1) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

AH2 + chlorate \rightleftharpoons A + H2O + chlorite

Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are AH2 and chlorate, whereas its 3 products are A, H2O, and chlorite.

This enzyme belongs to the family of oxidoreductases. The systematic name of this enzyme class is chlorite:acceptor oxidoreductase. This enzyme is also called chlorate reductase C.
