Protein
Nitronate monooxygenase
Organism
Neurospora crassa (strain ATCC 24698 / 74-OR23-1A / CBS 708.71 / DSM 1257 / FGSC 987)
Function
Catalyzes the oxidation of alkyl nitronates to produce the corresponding carbonyl compounds and nitrites. Anionic forms of nitroalkanes are much better substrates than are neutral forms.
Similarity
Belongs to the nitronate monooxygenase family. NMO class II subfamily.
