ID 1.7.3.1 DE nitroalkane oxidase. AN NAO. AN nitroethane oxidase. AN nitroethane reductase. CA (1) a primary nitroalkane + H2O + O2 = an aldehyde + H(+) + H2O2 + CA nitrite. CA (2) a secondary nitroalkane + H2O + O2 = a ketone + H(+) + H2O2 + CA nitrite. CC -!- While nitroethane may be the physiological substrate, the enzyme also CC acts on several other nitroalkanes, including 1-nitropropane, CC 2-nitropropane, 1-nitrobutane, 1-nitropentane, 1-nitrohexane, CC nitrocyclohexane and some nitroalkanols. CC -!- Differs from EC 1.13.12.16 in that the preferred substrates are CC neutral nitroalkanes rather than anionic nitronates. DR Q8X1D8, NAO_FUSOX ; B2AM55, NAO_PODAN ; //
