Annotation
do not confuse with NITRATE REDUCTASE (NAD(P)H) or NITRATE REDUCTASE (NADH)
Scope Note
An enzyme that catalyzes the oxidation of nitrite to nitrate in the presence of NADP+. It is a FLAVOPROTEIN that contains IRON and MOLYBDENUM. This enzyme was formerly classified as EC 1.6.6.3 and should not be confused with the enzyme NITRATE REDUCTASE (NAD(P)H).
