| UniProt functional annotation for P0A9D2 | |||
| UniProt code: P0A9D2. |
| Organism: | Escherichia coli (strain K12). | |
| Taxonomy: | Bacteria; Proteobacteria; Gammaproteobacteria; Enterobacterales; Enterobacteriaceae; Escherichia. | |
| Function: | Catalyzes the conjugation of reduced glutathione (GSH) to a wide number of exogenous and endogenous hydrophobic electrophiles. Shows activity toward 1-chloro-2,4-dinitrobenzene (CDNB) and ethacrynic acid. Also possesses thiol:disulfide oxidoreductase activity, using GSH to reduce bis-(2-hydroxyethyl) disulfide (HEDS). Has a low level of glutathione-dependent peroxidase activity toward cumene hydroperoxide. Is important for defense against oxidative stress, probably via its peroxidase activity. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:17018556, ECO:0000269|PubMed:18778244, ECO:0000269|PubMed:2185038, ECO:0000269|PubMed:7798255}. | |
