EC 1.14.13.238     
Accepted name: dimethylamine monooxygenase
Reaction: dimethylamine + NADPH + H+ + O2 = methylamine + formaldehyde + NADP+ + H2O
Other name(s): dmmABC (gene names)
Systematic name: dimethylamine,NADPH:oxygen oxidoreductase (formaldehyde-forming)
Comments: The enzyme, characterized from several bacterial species, is involved in a pathway for the degradation of methylated amines. It is composed of three subunits, one of which is a ferredoxin, and contains heme iron and an FMN cofactor.
