Nicotinate dehydrogenase

In enzymology, a nicotinate dehydrogenase (EC 1.17.1.5) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction The 3 substrates of this enzyme are nicotinate, H2O, and NADP+, whereas its 3 products are 6-hydroxynicotinate, NADPH, and H+.

This enzyme belongs to the family of oxidoreductases, specifically those acting on CH or CH2 groups with NAD+ or NADP+ as acceptor.

The systematic name of this enzyme class is nicotinate:NADP+ 6-oxidoreductase (hydroxylating).

This enzyme participates in nicotinate and nicotinamide metabolism.
