Svensk definition
Ett enzym som främst finns i bakterier och svampar och som katalyserar oxidationen av ammoniumhydroxid till nitrit. Det är ett järn-svavel-hemflavoprotein med sirohem som kan utnyttja både NAD och NADP som kofaktorer. EC 1.7.1.4.
Nitrite Reductase (NAD(P)H)
Nitritreduktas (NAD(P)H)
Engelsk definition
An enzyme found primarily in BACTERIA and FUNGI that catalyzes the oxidation of ammonium hydroxide to nitrite. It is an iron-sulfur HEME; FLAVOPROTEIN containing siroheme and can utilize both NAD and NADP as cofactors. This enzyme was formerly classified as EC 1.6.6.4.
