About
Comments (originally from EcoCyc[1][2]) The pdxH gene codes for a monofunctional flavoprotein enzyme that can accept either pyridoxine 5'-phosphate (PNP) or pyridoxamine 5'-phosphate (PMP) as substrates. The PNP/PMP oxidase is a key committed enzyme in the biosynthesis of the coenzyme pyridoxal 5'-phosphate. The enzyme also functions in the salvage pathway. Since the oxidase uses molecular oxygen, there may be a second pathway in anaerobically growing E. coli. [3][4]
