+ NAD+
 

The four substrates of this enzyme are precorrin-3A, reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH), oxygen, and a proton. Its products are precorrin-3B, oxidised NAD+, and water.[1][2][3]

This enzyme is an iron–sulfur protein acting as an oxidoreductase, with molecular oxygen as oxidant and incorporating one of its atoms. The systematic name of this enzyme class is precorrin-3A,NADH:oxygen oxidoreductase (20-hydroxylating). Other names in common use include precorrin-3X synthase, and CobG. This enzyme is part of the biosynthetic pathway to cobalamin (vitamin B12) in aerobic bacteria.[4]
