In enzymology , a selenate reductase (EC 1.97.1.9 ) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction
selenite + H2 O + acceptor
⇌ ⇌ -->
{\displaystyle \rightleftharpoons }
selenate + reduced acceptor
The 3 substrates of this enzyme are selenite , H2 O , 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 .
