R may be an aliphatic, aromatic or heterocyclic group; X may be a sulfate, nitrile or halide group." [EC:2.5.1.18] EOG81C9BN GO:0016740 1/39 transferase activity molecular_function "Catalysis of the transfer of a group, e.g. a methyl group, glycosyl group, acyl group, phosphorus-containing, or other groups, from one compound (generally regarded as the donor) to another compound (generally regarded as the acceptor). Transferase is the systematic name for any enzyme of EC class 2." [ISBN:0198506732] EOG81C9BN GO:0006749 1/39 glutathione metabolic process biological_process "The chemical reactions and pathways involving glutathione, the tripeptide glutamylcysteinylglycine, which acts as a coenzyme for some enzymes and as an antioxidant in the protection of sulfhydryl groups in enzymes and other proteins; it has a specific role in the reduction of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and oxidized ascorbate, and it participates in the gamma-glutamyl cycle."
