Ferredoxin-NAD+ reductase

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In enzymology, a ferredoxin---NAD+ reductase (EC 1.18.1.3) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

reduced ferredoxin + NAD+ \rightleftharpoons oxidized ferredoxin + NADH + H+

Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are reduced ferredoxin and NAD+, whereas its 3 products are oxidized ferredoxin, NADH, and H+.

This enzyme belongs to the family of oxidoreductases, specifically those acting on iron-sulfur proteins as donor with NAD+ or NADP+ as acceptor. The systematic name of this enzyme class is ferredoxin:NAD+ oxidoreductase. Other names in common use include ferredoxin-nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide reductase, ferredoxin reductase, NAD+-ferredoxin reductase, NADH-ferredoxin oxidoreductase, reductase, reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide-ferredoxin, ferredoxin-NAD+ reductase, NADH-ferredoxin reductase, NADH2-ferredoxin oxidoreductase, NADH flavodoxin oxidoreductase, NADH-ferredoxinNAP reductase (component of naphthalene dioxygenase, multicomponent enzyme system), ferredoxin-linked NAD+ reductase, NADH-ferredoxinTOL reductase (component of toluene dioxygenase), and ferredoxin---NAD reductase. This enzyme participates in fatty acid metabolism.
