Identification
Name:Respiratory nitrate reductase 2 gamma chain
Synonyms:Not Available
Gene Name:narV
Enzyme Class:
Biological Properties
General Function:Involved in nitrate reductase activity
Specific Function:This is a second nitrate reductase enzyme which can substitute for the NRA enzyme and allows E.coli to use nitrate as an electron acceptor during anaerobic growth. The gamma chain is a membrane-embedded heme-iron unit resembling cytochrome b, which transfers electrons from quinones to the beta subunit
Cellular Location:Cell inner membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein
