S-nitrosoglutathione reductase (NADPH) activity

Definition

Target type: molecularfunction

Catalysis of the reaction: H+ + NADPH + S-nitrosoglutathione = NADP+ + S-(hydroxysulfenamide)glutathione. [RHEA:63500]

S-nitrosoglutathione reductase (NADPH) activity is an enzymatic reaction that catalyzes the reduction of S-nitrosoglutathione (GSNO) to glutathione (GSH) and nitric oxide (NO). This reaction is crucial for regulating cellular levels of NO, a highly reactive signaling molecule involved in various physiological processes, including vasodilation, neurotransmission, and immune response. GSNO, a key component of the S-nitrosylation pathway, plays a role in modulating protein function through reversible covalent modification. S-nitrosoglutathione reductase (GSNOR) specifically targets GSNO, removing the NO group and thereby controlling the extent of S-nitrosylation. The enzyme utilizes NADPH as a reducing cofactor, transferring electrons to GSNO and facilitating the release of NO. The activity of GSNOR is tightly regulated by cellular factors like redox state and NO availability, ensuring precise control over NO levels. This delicate balance is crucial for maintaining normal cell function and preventing oxidative stress and nitrosative stress. The molecular function of GSNOR is thus essential for regulating NO signaling and ensuring cellular homeostasis.'
