| Accepted name: |
dihydromonapterin reductase |
| Reaction: |
5,6,7,8-tetrahydromonapterin + NADP+ = 7,8-dihydromonapterin + NADPH + H+ |
| Glossary: |
7,8-dihydromonapterin = 2-amino-6-[(1S,2S)-1,2,3-trihydroxypropyl]-7,8-dihydropteridin-4(3H)-one |
| Other name(s): |
FolM; H2-MPt reductase |
| Systematic name: |
5,6,7,8-tetrahydromonapterin:NADP+ oxidoreductase |
| Comments: |
The enzyme, found in many Gram negative bacteria, also slowly reduces 7,8-dihydrofolate to 5,6,7,8-tetrahydrofolate (cf. EC 1.5.1.3, dihydrofolate reductase). The enzyme has no activity with NADH. |
