Precorrin-2 dehydrogenase
class of enzymes
In enzymology, precorrin-2 dehydrogenase (EC 1.3.1.76) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction
The two substrates of this enzyme are precorrin-2 and oxidised nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+). Its products are sirohydrochlorin, reduced NADH, and a proton.
This enzyme belongs to the family of oxidoreductases, specifically those acting on the CH-CH group of donor with NAD+ or NADP+ as acceptor. The systematic name of this enzyme class is precorrin-2:NAD+ oxidoreductase. Other names in common use include Met8p, SirC, and CysG. This enzyme is part of the biosynthetic pathway to cobalamin (vitamin B12) in anaerobic bacteria and to Cofactor F430.
Begin with the source’s own compact description: “Precorrin-2 dehydrogenase” is class of enzymes. The dossier treats that line as a proposition to test through Precorrin-2, dehydrogenase and class, not as a finished interpretation.
Why this record matters
The phrase “class of enzymes” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jan 21, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q3166794. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference.
Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
