2,6-dihydroxypyridine 3-monooxygenase

2,6-dihydroxypyridine 3-monooxygenase () is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

The four substrates of this enzyme are 2,6-dihydroxypyridine, reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH), oxygen, and a proton. Its products are 2,3,6-trihydroxypyridine, oxidised NAD<sup>+</sup>, and water.

The enzyme is a flavin-containing monooxygenase that uses molecular oxygen as oxidant and incorporates one of its atoms into the starting material. The systematic name of this enzyme class is 2,6-dihydroxypyridine,NADH:oxygen oxidoreductase (3-hydroxylating). This enzyme is also called 2,6-dihydroxypyridine oxidase. It uses flavin adenine dinucleotide as a cofactor.
