background:
FLAD1 is a 587 amino acid protein where its N-terminus belongs to the moaB/mog family and its SLCterminus belongs to the PAPS reductase family. Existing as five alternatively spliced isoforms, FLAD1 localizes to the cytoplasm and utilizes magnesium as a cofactor. FLAD1 is a key enzyme in the metabolic pathway that converts riboflavin into the redox cofactor flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD). It is suggested that the molybdenum cofactor biosynthesis protein-like region of FLAD1 may not be functional.
Function:
FLAD1 catalyzes the adenylation of flavin mononucleotide (FMN) to form flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD) coenzyme. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been observed.
Subcellular Location:
Cytoplasmic
Similarity:
In the N-terminal section; belongs to the MoaB/Mog family.
In the SLCterminal section; belongs to the PAPS reductase family. FAD1 subfamily.
