EC 1.3.7.2 Details
EC number
1.3.7.2
Accepted name
15,16-dihydrobiliverdin:ferredoxin oxidoreductase
Reaction
15,16-dihydrobiliverdin + oxidized ferredoxin = biliverdin IXα + reduced ferredoxin
Other name(s)
PebA
Systematic name
15,16-dihydrobiliverdin:ferredoxin oxidoreductase
CAS registry number
347401-20-1
Comment
Catalyses the two-electron reduction of biliverdin IXα at the C15 methine bridge. It has been proposed that this enzyme and EC 1.3.7.3, phycoerythrobilin:ferredoxin oxidoreductase, function as a dual enzyme complex in the conversion of biliverdin IXα into phycoerythrobilin.
