IUBMB Enzyme Nomenclature

EC 1.20.1.1

Accepted name: phosphite dehydrogenase

Reaction: phosphite + NAD+ + H2O = phosphate + NADH + H+

Other name(s): NAD:phosphite oxidoreductase

Systematic name: phosphite:NAD+ oxidoreductase

Comments: The enzyme has been characterized from the bacterium Pseudomonas stutzeri WM88. NADP+ is a poor substitute for NAD+.
