At1g77760: NIA1 (NITRATE REDUCTASE 1)

Encodes the cytosolic minor isoform of nitrate reductase (NR). Involved in the first step of nitrate assimilation, it contributes about 15% of the nitrate reductase activity in shoots. Similar to molybdopterin oxidoreductases at the N-terminus, and to FAD/NAD-binding cytochrome reductases at the C-terminus. Cofactors: FAD, heme iron (cytochrome B-557), and molybdenum-pterin.
