Also known as
ECK1584
Summary
The physiological substrate and relevance of the YnfFGH S- and N-oxide reductase is unknown. [More information is available at EcoGene: EG13845]. YnfG is highly similar to DmsB, the iron-sulfur cluster-containing subunit of the dimethyl sulfoxide reductase heterotrimer, and cross-reacts with an anti-DmsB antibody. [More information is available at EcoCyc: G6847].
