BRITE hierarchy
Sysname
(S)-dihydroorotate:NADP+ oxidoreductase
Reaction(IUBMB)

Comment
Binds FMN and FAD [2]. Other class 1 dihydroorotate dehydrogenases use either fumarate (EC
1.3.98.1 ) or NAD+ (EC
1.3.1.14 ) as electron acceptor. The membrane bound class 2 dihydroorotate dehydrogenase (EC
1.3.5.2 ) uses quinone as electron acceptor .
History
EC 1.3.1.15 created 1972, modified 2011
