Flavoproteins are mainly located in the mitochondria. Of all flavoproteins, 90% perform redox reactions and the other 10% are transferases, lyases, isomerases, ligases.

Which enzyme is a flavoprotein?

The flavoprotein family contains a diverse range of enzymes, including: Adrenodoxin reductase that is involved in steroid hormone synthesis in vertebrate species, and has a ubiquitous distribution in metazoa and prokaryotes.

What kind of protein is flavoprotein?

Flavoproteins are group of proteins wherein a flavin moiety is a substituent. The flavin moiety may be flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD) and/or flavin mononucleotide (FMN). In humans, about 84% of the flavoproteins require FAD whereas 16% require FMN. Five of these flavoproteins need both FAD and FMN.
