DESCRIPTION

Also known as YQJG_ECOLI, yqjG. Catalyzes glutathione (GSH)-dependent reduction of glutathionyl-hydroquinones (GS-HQs) to the corresponding hydroquinones. Can use a variety of GS-HQs as substrates, such as GS-p-hydroquinone (GS-HQ), GS-hydroxy-p-hydroquinone (GS-HHQ), GS-methyl-p-hydroquinone (GS-MHQ), GS-menadiol, and GS-trichloro-p-hydroquinone (GS-TriCH). Also displays GSH-dependent disulfide-bond reduction activity toward HED (2-hydroxyethyl disulfide), and is able to catalyze DMA (dimethylarsinate) reduction. Exhibits no GSH transferase activity with 1-chloro-2, 4-dinitrobenzene (CDNB). Homodimer.
