MeSH definition : Oxidoreductases that specifically reduce arsenate ion to arsenite ion. Reduction of
arsenate is a critical step for its biotransformation into a form that can be transported
by ARSENITE TRANSPORTING ATPASES or complexed by specific sulfhydryl-containing proteins
for the purpose of detoxification (METABOLIC DETOXIFICATION, DRUG). Arsenate reductases
require reducing equivalents such as GLUTAREDOXIN or AZURIN.;
