Selenate reductase

Add article description

In enzymology, a selenate reductase (EC 1.97.1.9) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

selenite + H2O + acceptor selenate + reduced acceptor
Quick Facts Identifiers, EC no. ...

The 3 substrates of this enzyme are selenite, H2O, and acceptor, whereas its two products are selenate and reduced acceptor.

This enzyme belongs to the family of oxidoreductases. The systematic name of this enzyme class is selenite:reduced acceptor oxidoreductase.
