Reaction: 2 nitric oxide + 2 O2 + NAD(P)H = 2 nitrate + NAD(P)+ + H+
Glossary: nitric oxide = NO = nitrogen(II) oxide
Systematic name: nitric oxide,NAD(P)H:oxygen oxidoreductase
Comments: A flavohemoglobin (FAD). It has been proposed that FAD functions as the electron carrier from NADPH to the ferric heme cofactor.
