Trimethylamine-N-oxide reductase
- Trimethylamine-N-oxide reductase
In enzymology, a trimethylamine-N-oxide reductase (EC number|1.6.6.9) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction
:NADH + H+ + trimethylamine N-oxide NAD+ + trimethylamine + H2O
The 3 substrates of this enzyme are NADH, H+, and trimethylamine N-oxide, whereas its 3 products are NAD+, trimethylamine, and H2O.
This enzyme belongs to the family of oxidoreductases, specifically those acting on NADH or NADPH with a nitrogenous group as acceptor. The systematic name of this enzyme class is NADH:trimethylamine-N-oxide oxidoreductase. Other names in common use include trimethylamine N-oxide reductase, trimethylamine oxide reductase, TMAO reductase, and TOR. This enzyme participates in methane metabolism.
tructural studies
