| EC Number | 1.7.2.2 |
| CAS Registry Number | |
| Comments | Found as a multiheme cytochrome in many bacteria. The enzyme from Escherichia coli contains five hemes c and requires Ca2+. It also reduces nitric oxide and hydroxylamine to ammonia, and sulfite to sulfide. |
| Cofactor | Ca2+;heme |
| History | |
| Reactions | NH(3) + 2 H(2)O + 6 ferricytochrome c = nitrite + 6 ferrocytochrome c + 7 H(+). |
