IUBMB Enzyme Nomenclature

EC 1.16.1.5

Deleted entry: aquacobalamin reductase (NADPH). This entry has been deleted since the enzyme the entry was based on was later shown to be EC 1.2.1.51, pyruvate dehydrogenase (NADP⁺). On the other hand, it has been shown that non-enzymatic reduction of cob(III)alamin to cob(II)alamin occurs efficiently in the presence of free dihydroflavins or non-specific reduced flavoproteins.

[EC 1.16.1.5 created 1989 as EC 1.6.99.11, transferred 2002 to EC 1.16.1.5], deleted 2020
