Type: | Domain | Name: | Nitroreductase-like |
Description: | This domain is characteristic of nitroreductase enzymes and related oxidoreductases. Members of this family utilise FMN as a cofactor and areoften found to be homodimers. Possible characteristics include Oxygen-insensitive NAD(P)H nitroreductase (FMN-dependent nitroreductase) (Dihydropteridine reductase) () and NADH dehydrogenase (). A number of the proteins are described as oxidoreductases. They are primarily found in bacterial lineages though a number of eukaryotic homologues have been identified: Caenorhabditis elegans, Drosophila melanogaster(Fruit fly) , Mus musculus(Mouse) and Homo sapiens(Human) . This protein is not found in photosynthetic eukaryotes. The sequences containing this entry in photosynthetic organisms are possible false positives. | Short Name: | Nitroreductase-like |
