Flavin reductase: Difference between revisions

Latest revision as of 12:10, 6 March 2023

Function

Flavin reductase (FR) catalyzes the NADPH-dependent reduction of a variety of flavins such as riboflavin, FAD, FMN, biliverdin, methemoglobin and pyrroloquinoline quinone. FR converts reduced riboflavin to riboflavin and bilirubin to biliverdin. FR is involved in heme catabolism^[1] .

Relevance

FR catalytic reaction is the basis of the therapeutic use of methylene blue or riboflavin in the treatment of methemoglobinemia. Bacterial FR are used to sensitize tumors to drugs.

Structural insights

The because the binding is achieved mainly via hydrophobic interactions (Hydrophobic, Polar).^[2]
