General annotation (Comments)

Function	Nitrate reductase is a key enzyme involved in the first step of nitrate assimilation in plants, fungi and bacteria.
Catalytic activity	Nitrite + NAD(+) + H(2)O = nitrate + NADH.
Cofactor	Binds 1 FAD per subunit. Binds 1 heme group per subunit. Binds 1 molybdenum-pterin group per subunit.
Subunit structure	Homodimer By similarity.
Tissue specificity	In cortical cells of roots grown at low nitrate concentrations, in vascular tissues of roots at high nitrate concentrations and in root apex under both conditions.
Sequence similarities	Belongs to the nitrate reductase family. Contains 1 cytochrome b5 heme-binding domain. Contains 1 FAD-binding FR-type domain.
