Description | FMNH2 is the reduced form of flavin mononucleotide. It is a substrate of the enzyme FMN reductase (EC 1.5.1.29), an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction FMNH2 + NAD(P)+ <=> FMN + NAD(P)H + H+. Flavin mononucleotide (FMN), or riboflavin-5′-phosphate, is a biomolecule produced from riboflavin (vitamin B2) by the enzyme riboflavin kinase and functions as prosthetic group of various oxidoreductases including NADH dehydrogenase. During a catalytic cycle, the reversible interconversion of oxidized (FMN), semiquinone (FMNH•) and reduced (FMNH2) forms occurs in the various oxidoreductases. FMN is a stronger oxidizing agent than NAD and is particularly useful because it can take part in both one- and two-electron transfers. |
