azr

Gene
azr
Protein
NADPH azoreductase
Organism
Bacillus sp. (strain OY1-2)
Length
178 amino acids
Function
Catalyzes the reductive cleavage of azo bond in aromatic azo compounds to the corresponding amines. Requires NADPH as an electron donor for its activity. Compounds with paired naphthalene groups coupled with the azo group are good substrates, with the following preference order: Rocceline > Sumifix Black B > Solar Orange.
Similarity
Belongs to the azoreductase type 2 family.
