Plays a key role in the metabolism of xenobiotics and drugs containing aromatic azaheterocyclic substituents. Participates in the bioactivation of prodrugs such as famciclovir, catalyzing the oxidation step from 6-deoxypenciclovir to penciclovir, which is a potent antiviral agent. Is probably involved in the regulation of reactive oxygen species homeostasis. May be a prominent source of superoxide generation via the one-electron reduction of molecular oxygen. Also may catalyze nitric oxide (NO) production via the reduction of nitrite to NO with NADH or aldehyde as electron donor. May play a role in adipogenesis. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:20444863, ECO:0000269|PubMed:22031625, ECO:0000269|PubMed:22279051, ECO:0000269|PubMed:22522748, ECO:0000269|PubMed:22996261, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23857892, ECO:0000269|PubMed:26322824, ECO:0000269|PubMed:7786031, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9224775}. |Fer2 2| |Fer2| |FAD binding 5| |Ald Xan dh C| |Ald Xan dh C2| |CO deh flav C| |geranial:oxygen oxidoreductase activity| |heptaldehyde:oxygen oxidoreductase activity| |xanthine catabolic process| |aldehyde oxidase activity| |xanthine dehydrogenase activity| |xanthine metabolic process| |purine nucleobase catabolic process| |vitamin B6 metabolic process| |molybdopterin cofactor binding| |nucleobase catabolic process| |purine nucleobase metabolic process| |2 iron, 2 sulfur cluster binding| |FAD binding| |NAD binding| |pyridine-containing compound metabolic process| |nucleobase metabolic process| |purine-containing compound catabolic process| |flavin adenine dinucleotide binding| |electron transfer activity| |water-soluble vitamin metabolic process| |vitamin metabolic process| |iron ion binding| |electron transport chain| |purine-containing compound metabolic process| |generation of precursor metabolites and energy| |heterocycle catabolic process| |cellular nitrogen compound catabolic process| |aromatic compound catabolic process| |organic cyclic compound catabolic process| |drug metabolic process| |nucleobase-containing small molecule metabolic process| |protein homodimerization activity| |oxidation-reduction process| |organonitrogen compound catabolic process| |identical protein binding| |small molecule metabolic process| |organic substance catabolic process| |cellular catabolic process| \\ === CRISPR Data === No hits were found.
