IntEnz Enzyme Nomenclature
EC 1.5.1.30

Names

Accepted name:
flavin reductase (NADPH)
Other names:
FMN reductase (NADPH)
NADPH-dependent FMN reductase
NADPH-specific FMN reductase
NADPH:flavin oxidoreductase
NADPH2 dehydrogenase (flavin)
NADPH2:riboflavin oxidoreductase
flavin mononucleotide reductase
flavine mononucleotide reductase
riboflavin mononucleotide (reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate) reductase
riboflavin mononucleotide reductase
riboflavine mononucleotide reductase
NADPH-FMN reductase
NADPH dehydrogenase (flavin)
NADPH:riboflavin oxidoreductase
NADPH-flavin reductase
Systematic name:
reduced-riboflavin:NADP+ oxidoreductase

Reaction

Comments:

The enzyme from Entamoeba histolytica reduces riboflavin and galactoflavin, and, more slowly, FMN and FAD. NADH is oxidized more slowly than NADPH.
