Descriptor English: Nitrite Reductase (NAD(P)H)
Descriptor Spanish: Nitrito-Reductasa (NAD(P)H)
Descriptor nitrito reductasa (NAD(P)H)
Scope note: Enzima que se encuentra principalmente en BACTERIAS y HONGOS y cataliza la oxidación del hidróxido de amonio a nitrito. Es una HEMO con hierro y azufre, FLAVOPROTEÍNA que contiene sirohemo y puede utilizar NAD y NADP como cofactores. Esta enzima ha sido anteriormente clasificada como EC 1.6.6.4.
