DT Diaphorase from rat, Recombinant

DT Diaphorase is a flavoenzyme that catalyzes the oxidation of reduced di-and triphosphopyridine nucleotides. It contains one mole of FAD per mole of enzyme. The enzyme found in rat liver catalyzes the oxidation of NADH and NADPH by various dyes and quinones. The molecular weight is found to be approximately 48 kDa Da. The pH optimum of the enzyme purified from rat liver is found to be 5.0. It is a cytosolic enzyme that catalyzes the two-electron reduction of various quinones. It catalyzes the conversion of vitamin K to vitamin K hydroquinone for utilization in the post-translational γ-glutamyl carboxylation reactions. These reactions are necessary for several proteins involved in blood coagulation.
