5,10-methylenetetrahydromethanopterin reductase
Template:Short description Template:Infobox enzyme In enzymology, a 5,10-methylenetetrahydromethanopterin reductase (Template:EC number) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction
- 5-methyltetrahydromethanopterin + coenzyme F420 5,10-methylenetetrahydromethanopterin + reduced coenzyme F420
Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are 5-methyltetrahydromethanopterin and coenzyme F420, whereas its two products are 5,10-methylenetetrahydromethanopterin and reduced coenzyme F420.
This enzyme belongs to the family of oxidoreductases, specifically those acting on the CH-NH group of donors with other acceptors. The systematic name of this enzyme class is 5-methyltetrahydromethanopterin:coenzyme-F420 oxidoreductase. Other names in common use include 5,10-methylenetetrahydromethanopterin cyclohydrolase, N5,N10-methylenetetrahydromethanopterin reductase, methylene-H4MPT reductase, coenzyme F420-dependent N5,N10-methenyltetrahydromethanopterin, reductase, and N5,N10-methylenetetrahydromethanopterin:coenzyme-F420 oxidoreductase. This enzyme participates in folate biosynthesis.
