FMN reductase (NADH) explained

FMN reductase (NADH)
Ec Number:	1.5.1.42

FMN reductase (NADH) (NADH-FMN reductase) is an enzyme with systematic name FMNH₂:NAD⁺ oxidoreductase.^{[1] [2] [3] [4]} This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction

FMNH₂ + NAD⁺

\rightleftharpoons FMN + NADH + H⁺

The enzyme often forms a complex with monooxygenases.
