ENZYME entry: EC 1.7.1.15

PURL: https://purl.expasy.org/enzyme/EC/1.7.1.15
Accepted Name
nitrite reductase (NADH)
Alternative Name(s)
assimilatory nitrite reductase
NADH-nitrite oxidoreductase
nitrite reductase (reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide)
Reaction catalysed
NH4(+) + 3 NAD(+) + 2 H2O = nitrite + 3 NADH + 5 H(+)
Comment(s)
  • This prokaryotic enzyme is specific for NADH.
  • In addition to catalyzing the 6-electron reduction of nitrite to ammonia, the enzyme from Escherichia coli can also catalyze the 2-electron reduction of hydroxylamine to ammonia. cf. EC 1.7.1.4.
