1 Reduction of methemoglobin through flavin at the physiological concentration by NADPH-flavin reductase of human erythrocytes. 4,6-dinitro-o-cresol hemoglobin subunit gamma 2 Homo sapiens
2 The reduction of methemoglobin by NADPH-flavin reductase of human erythrocytes through flavin was studied under various conditions using a reconstituted methemoglobin reductase system. 4,6-dinitro-o-cresol hemoglobin subunit gamma 2 Homo sapiens
3 The reduction of methemoglobin by NADPH-flavin reductase of human erythrocytes through flavin was studied under various conditions using a reconstituted methemoglobin reductase system. 4,6-dinitro-o-cresol hemoglobin subunit gamma 2 Homo sapiens
4 The reduction of methemoglobin by the reconstituted enzyme system could be easily detected with flavin at the physiological concentration (e.g., 0.1-1.0 microM), and the rates obtained with 0.1 and 1.0 microM FMN were 0.19 and 2.2 nmol heme reduced per min per ml, respectively, in the absence of oxygen. 4,6-dinitro-o-cresol hemoglobin subunit gamma 2 Homo sapiens
5 The reduction of methemoglobin by the reconstituted enzyme system with flavin at a physiological concentration proceeded as a zero order reaction. 4,6-dinitro-o-cresol hemoglobin subunit gamma 2 Homo sapiens
6 These results apparently suggest that the NADPH-flavin reductase system is able to reduce methemoglobin in erythrocytes at a moderate speed with about 1 microM flavin, and the reduction was estimated to vary from less than 1% to about 20% of that by the NADH-cytochrome b5 reductase system with 1 microM cytochrome b5, depending on the uptake of flavin by human erythrocytes. 4,6-dinitro-o-cresol hemoglobin subunit gamma 2 Homo sapiens
