Type: | Domain | Name: | NADPH-dependent FMN reductase-like |
Description: | This domain in found in several flavoproteins such as FMN-dependent NADPH-azoreductase, which catalyses the reductive cleavage of azo bond in aromatic azo compounds to the corresponding amines [], and NAD(P)H:quinone oxidoreductase, which reduces quinones to the hydroquinone state to prevent interaction of the semiquinone with O2 and production of superoxide []. In Arabidopsis NADPH:quinone oxidoreductase is involved in detoxification pathways []. NAD(P)H:quinone oxidoreductase prefers NADH over NADPH, while FMN-dependent NADPH-azoreductase requires NADPH, but not NADH, as an electron donor for its activity. Other proteins with this domain include iron-sulfur flavoproteins [] and chromate reductase []. | Short Name: | FMN_Rdtase-like |
