Application

Nitrate reductase from Arabidopsis thaliana has been used in a study to assess the amino acid sequence of chicken hepatic sulfite oxidase.

Catalyzes the NADH-dependent reduction of nitrate to nitrite.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Nitrate reductase activity is induced in Arabidopsis thaliana plants by sumoylation via the E3 ligase activity of AtSIZ1.

Physical form

Supplied as a lyophilized powder containing 50 mM MOPS, pH 7.0, 0.1 mM EDTA and a proprietary sugar

Unit Definition

One unit will reduce 1.0 micromole of nitrate to nitrite per min in a NADH system at pH 7.5 at 30 deg C.
