Functions
  • oxidoreductase activity, acting on NAD(P)H, NAD(P) as acceptor
  • FMN binding
  • electron carrier activity
  • oxidoreductase activity, acting on NAD(P)H, quinone or similar compound as acceptor
  • azobenzene reductase activity
  • FMN reductase activity
Processes
  • response to oxidative stress
Components
  • cytosol
General FunctionOxidoreductase activity, acting on nad(p)h, quinone or similar compound as acceptor
Specific FunctionCatalyzes the reductive cleavage of azo bond in aromatic azo compounds to the corresponding amines. Requires NADH, but not NADPH, as an electron donor for its activity. The enzyme can reduce ethyl red and methyl red, but is not able to convert sulfonated azo dyes.
