Probable glutathione S-transferase DHAR1, cytosolic

UniProtKB accession:  Q65XA0

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Involved in ascorbate homeostasis. Maintains redox pools of ascorbate by recycling dihydroascorbate (DHA) to ascorbate (Probable). Involved in scavenging reactive oxygen species (ROS) under oxidative stresses. Possesses dehydroascorbate reductase (DHAR) activity in vitro (PubMed:19011360). May function via a ping-pong reaction mechanism with an electron transfer at the active site (PubMed:26775680). Possesses chaperone-like activity in vitro (PubMed:26775680).
