| Accepted name: |

| Other name(s): |
NADPH:flavin oxidoreductase; riboflavin mononucleotide (reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate) reductase; flavin mononucleotide reductase; flavine mononucleotide reductase; FMN reductase (NADPH); NADPH-dependent FMN reductase; NADPH-flavin reductase; NADPH-FMN reductase; NADPH-specific FMN reductase; riboflavin mononucleotide reductase; riboflavine mononucleotide reductase; NADPH2 dehydrogenase (flavin); NADPH2:riboflavin oxidoreductase |
| Systematic name: |
reduced-riboflavin:NADP+ oxidoreductase |
| Comments: |
The enzyme reduces riboflavin, and, less efficiently, FMN and FAD. NADH is oxidized less efficiently than NADPH. |
