Glutathione amide reductase

Add article description


Glutathione amide reductase (EC 1.8.1.16, GAR) is an enzyme with systematic name glutathione amide:NAD+ oxidoreductase.[1][2] This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction

2 glutathione amide + NAD+ glutathione amide disulfide + NADH + H+

Glutathione amide reductase is a dimeric flavoprotein (FAD).
