IntEnz Enzyme Nomenclature
EC 1.5.99.4

Names

Accepted name:
nicotine dehydrogenase
Other names:
D-nicotine oxidase
nicotine oxidase
nicotine:(acceptor) 6-oxidoreductase (hydroxylating)
L-nicotine oxidase
Systematic name:
nicotine:acceptor 6-oxidoreductase (hydroxylating)

Reaction

Cofactor

Comments:

A metalloprotein (FMN). The enzyme can act on both the naturally found (S)-enantiomer and the synthetic (R)-enantiomer of nicotine, with retention of configuration in both cases [4].
