FAD reductase (NAD(P)H) explained

FAD reductase (NAD(P)H)
Ec Number:1.5.1.45

FAD reductase (NAD(P)H) (GTNG_3158 (gene)) is an enzyme with systematic name FADH2:NAD(P)+ oxidoreductase.[1] This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction

FADH2 + NAD(P)+

\rightleftharpoons

FAD + NAD(P)H + H+

This enzyme is isolated from the bacterium Geobacillus thermodenitrificans. It takes part in degradation tryptophan.
