UniProt Comments
Displays a dual function. As a soluble protein, exhibits glutathione-dependent thiol transferase and dehydroascorbate (DHA) reductase activities (PubMed:12077129). Key component of the ascorbate recycling system. Involved in the redox homeostasis, especially in scavenging of ROS under oxidative stresses, subsequently to biotic or abiotic inducers (PubMed:16262714). As a peripheral membrane protein, could also function as voltage-gated ion channel (PubMed:17267397).
