ENZYME entry: EC 1.3.1.14

Accepted Name
Dihydroorotate dehydrogenase (NAD(+)).
Alternative Name(s)
DHOD.
DHODase.
DHOdehase.
Dihydroorotate oxidase.
Orotate reductase (NADH(2)).
Orotate reductase (NADH).
Reaction catalysed
(S)-dihydroorotate + NAD(+) <=> orotate + NADH
Cofactor(s)
FAD; FMN; Iron-sulfur.
Comment(s)
  • The enzyme consists of two subunits, an FMN binding catalytic subunit and a FAD and iron-sulfur binding electron transfer subunit.
  • The reaction, which takes place in the cytosol, is the only redox reaction in the de-novo biosynthesis of pyrimidine nucleotides.
  • Other class 1 dihydroorotate dehydrogenases use either fumarate (EC 1.3.98.1) or NADP(+) (EC 1.3.1.15) as electron acceptor.
  • The membrane bound class 2 dihydroorotate dehydrogenase (EC 1.3.5.2) uses quinone as electron acceptor.
