Flavin reductase (NADH) explained

Flavin reductase (NADH)
Ec Number:	1.5.1.36

Flavin reductase (NADH) (NADH-dependent flavin reductase, flavin:NADH oxidoreductase) is an enzyme with systematic name flavin:NAD⁺ oxidoreductase.^[1] This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction

reduced flavin + NAD⁺

\rightleftharpoons

flavin + NADH + H⁺

The Escherichia coli enzyme reduces free flavins by NADH.
