ENZYME entry: EC 1.7.3.1

PURL: https://purl.expasy.org/enzyme/EC/1.7.3.1
Accepted Name
nitroalkane oxidase
Alternative Name(s)
NAO
nitroethane oxidase
nitroethane reductase
Reaction catalysed
  • a primary nitroalkane + O2 + H2O = an aldehyde + nitrite + H2O2 + H(+)
  • a secondary nitroalkane + O2 + H2O = a ketone + nitrite + H2O2 + H(+)
Comment(s)
  • While nitroethane may be the physiological substrate, the enzyme also acts on several other nitroalkanes, including 1-nitropropane, 2-nitropropane, 1-nitrobutane, 1-nitropentane, 1-nitrohexane, nitrocyclohexane and some nitroalkanols.
  • Differs from EC 1.13.12.16 in that the preferred substrates are neutral nitroalkanes rather than anionic nitronates.
