Chlorate reductase

In enzymology, a chlorate reductase is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction


 * AH2 + chlorate $$\rightleftharpoons$$ A + H2O + chlorite

Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are AH2 and chlorate, whereas its 3 products are A, H2O, and chlorite.

This enzyme belongs to the family of oxidoreductases. The systematic name of this enzyme class is chlorite:acceptor oxidoreductase. This enzyme is also called chlorate reductase C.
