Type: | Family | Name: | Adrenodoxin |
Description: | Adrenodoxin, putidaredoxin and terpredoxin are soluble 2Fe-2S iron-sulphur proteins that act as single electron carriers. They are a subgroup of the ferredoxinfamily of iron-sulphur proteins. In mitochondrial monooxygenase systems, adrenodoxin transfers an electron from NADPH:adrenodoxin reductase to membrane-bound P450. In bacteria, putidaredoxinand terpredoxin serve as electron carriers between corresponding NADH-dependent ferredoxin reductases and soluble P450 [, ]. The exact functions of other membersof this family are not known. | Short Name: | Adrenodoxin |
