Nitrate reductase (NADH)

Nitrate reductase (NADH) (, assimilatory nitrate reductase, NADH-nitrate reductase, NADH-dependent nitrate reductase, assimilatory NADH: nitrate reductase, nitrate reductase (NADH2), NADH2: nitrate oxidoreductase) is an enzyme with systematic name nitrite: NAD+ oxidoreductase. This enzyme catalyzes the following chemical reaction


 * nitrite + NAD+ + H2O $$\rightleftharpoons$$ nitrate + NADH + H+

Nitrate reductase is an iron-sulfur molybdenum flavoprotein.
