IntEnz Enzyme Nomenclature
EC 1.5.1.38

Names

Accepted name:
FMN reductase (NADPH)
Other names:
FRP
flavin reductase P
SsuE
Systematic name:
FMNH2:NADP+ oxidoreductase

Reaction

Cofactor

Comments:

The enzymes from bioluminescent bacteria contain FMN [4], while the enzyme from Escherichia coli does not [8]. The enzyme often forms a two-component system with monooxygenases such as luciferase. Unlike EC 1.5.1.39, this enzyme does not use NADH as acceptor [1,2]. While FMN is the preferred substrate, the enzyme can also use FAD and riboflavin with lower activity [3,6,8].
