Pyrrole-2-carboxylate monooxygenase
Ec Number:1.14.13.130

Pyrrole-2-carboxylate monooxygenase (pyrrole-2-carboxylate oxygenase) is an enzyme with systematic name pyrrole-2-carboxylate,NADH:oxygen oxidoreductase (5-hydroxylating).[1] [2] This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction

pyrrole-2-carboxylate + NADH + H+ + O2

\rightleftharpoons

5-hydroxypyrrole-2-carboxylate + NAD+ + H2O

Pyrrole-2-carboxylate monooxygenase is a flavoprotein (FAD).
