Enzyme Information

1.3.1.14
Dihydroorotate dehydrogenase (NAD(+)).
based on mapping to UniProt P54322
(S)-dihydroorotate + NAD(+) = orotate + NADH.
-!- The enzyme consists of two subunits, an FMN binding catalytic subunit and a FAD and iron-sulfur binding electron transfer subunit. -!- The reaction, which takes place in the cytosol, is the only redox reaction in the de-novo biosynthesis of pyrimidine nucleotides. -!- Other class 1 dihydroorotate dehydrogenases use either fumarate (EC 1.3.98.1) or NADP(+) (EC 1.3.1.15) as electron acceptor. -!- The membrane bound class 2 dihydroorotate dehydrogenase (EC 1.3.5.2) uses quinone as electron acceptor.
