2-hydroxypyridine 5-monooxygenase

In enzymology, a 2-hydroxypyridine 5-monooxygenase (EC number|1.14.99.26) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

:2-hydroxypyridine + AH₂ + O₂ $ightleftharpoons$ 2,5-dihydroxypyridine + A + H₂O

The 3 substrates of this enzyme are 2-hydroxypyridine, AH2, and O₂, whereas its 3 products are 2,5-dihydroxypyridine, A, and H₂O.

This enzyme belongs to the family of oxidoreductases, specifically those acting on paired donors, with O2 as oxidant and incorporation or reduction of oxygen. The oxygen incorporated need not be derive from O miscellaneous. The systematic name of this enzyme class is 2-hydroxypyridine,hydrogen-donor:oxygen oxidoreductase (5-hydroxylating). This enzyme is also called 2-hydroxypyridine oxygenase.
