IUBMB Enzyme Nomenclature

EC 1.5.1.36

Accepted name: flavin reductase (NADH)

Reaction: reduced flavin + NAD+ = flavin + NADH + H+

Other name(s): NADH-dependent flavin reductase; flavin:NADH oxidoreductase

Systematic name: flavin:NAD+ oxidoreductase

Comments: The enzyme from Escherichia coli W catalyses the reduction of free flavins by NADH. The enzyme has similar affinity to FAD, FMN and riboflavin. Activity with NADPH is more than 2 orders of magnitude lower than activity with NADH.
