ID   1.7.3.1
DE   Nitroalkane oxidase.
AN   NAO.
AN   Nitroethane oxidase.
AN   Nitroethane reductase.
CA   A nitroalkane + H(2)O + O(2) = an aldehyde + nitrite + H(2)O(2).
CF   FAD.
CC   -!- While nitroethane may be the physiological substrate, the enzyme also
CC       acts on several other nitroalkanes, including 1-nitropropane,
CC       2-nitropropane, 1-nitrobutane, 1-nitropentane, 1-nitrohexane,
CC       nitrocyclohexane and some nitroalkanols.
CC   -!- Differs from EC 1.13.11.32 in that the preferred substrates are
CC       neutral nitroalkanes rather than anionic nitronates.
