9029-42-9 Usage
Uses
Nitrate reductase has been used to determine nitric oxide activity by measuring its stable metabolites, nitrate and nitrite upon reduction.
Definition
A metalloenzyme that contains molybdenum. It catalyzes the reduction of
nitrate to nitrite.
General Description
Nitrate reductase contains molybdenum as a cofactor and belongs to the family of dimethyl sulfoxide reductase. It is localized in periplasm, cytoplasm, and cell membrane.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Nitrate reductase is the first enzyme in nitrate assimilation pathway. During reduction of nitrate to nitrite, it uses pyridinenucleotides, flavin, or benzyl viologen as electron donors. It acts as central point for integration of metabolism by monitoring flux of reduced nitrogen in plants, algae and fungi. In plants, nitrate reductase is regulated by a number of factors, such as nitrate, metabolites, dropdown in temperature, phytohormones, drought and light.
Check Digit Verification of cas no
The CAS Registry Mumber 9029-42-9 includes 7 digits separated into 3 groups by hyphens. The first part of the number,starting from the left, has 4 digits, 9,0,2 and 9 respectively; the second part has 2 digits, 4 and 2 respectively.
Calculate Digit Verification of CAS Registry Number 9029-42:
(6*9)+(5*0)+(4*2)+(3*9)+(2*4)+(1*2)=99
99 % 10 = 9
So 9029-42-9 is a valid CAS Registry Number.
