show Brenda entry

EC number

1.7.1.4

Accepted name

nitrite reductase [NAD(P)H]

Reaction

NH₃ + 3 NAD(P)⁺ + 2 H₂O = nitrite + 3 NAD(P)H + 5 H⁺

Other name(s)

nitrite reductase (reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (phosphate)), assimilatory nitrite reductase (ambiguous), nitrite reductase [NAD(P)H₂], NAD(P)H₂:nitrite oxidoreductase, nit-6 (gene name)

Systematic name

ammonia:NAD(P)⁺ oxidoreductase

CAS registry number

9029-29-2

Comment

An iron-sulfur flavoprotein (FAD) containing siroheme. The enzymes from the fungi Neurospora crassa [1], Emericella nidulans [2] and Candida nitratophila [4] can use either NADPH or NADH as electron donor. cf. EC 1.7.1.15, nitrite reductase (NADH).

History

created 1961 as EC 1.6.6.4, transferred 2002 to EC 1.7.1.4, modified 2013
