Function

Arsenate reductase or glutaredoxin arsenate reductase (AsR) catalyzes the conversion of arsenate (As V) and glutaredoxin to arsenite (As III) and glutaredoxin disulfide.[1]

Relevance

AsR is part of the arsenic detoxification pathway.

Structural highlights

The AsR active site contains a . (PDB entry 1j9b).[2]
