Identification
Name:Oxygen-insensitive NAD(P)H nitroreductase
Synonyms:
  • Dihydropteridine reductase
  • FMN-dependent nitroreductase
Gene Name:nfnB
Enzyme Class:
Biological Properties
General Function:Involved in oxidoreductase activity
Specific Function:Reduction of a variety of nitroaromatic compounds using NADH (and to lesser extent NADPH) as source of reducing equivalents; two electrons are transferred. Capable of reducing nitrofurazone, quinones and the anti-tumor agent CB1954 (5- (aziridin-1-yl)-2,4-dinitrobenzamide). The reduction of CB1954 results in the generation of cytotoxic species
