The three substrates of this enzyme are cob(I)yrinic acid a,c-diamide, flavin mononucleotide, and H+; its two products are cob(II)yrinic acid a,c-diamide and FMNH2.
Classification
This enzyme belongs to the family of oxidoreductases, specifically those oxidizing metal ion with a flavin as acceptor.
Nomenclature
The systematic name of this enzyme class is cob(I)yrinic acid-a,c-diamide:FMN oxidoreductase. This enzyme is also called CobR and cob(II)yrinic acid-a,c-diamide:FMN oxidoreductase (incorrect).
Biological role
This enzyme is part of the biosynthetic pathway to cobalamin (vitamin B12) in bacteria.
