In enzymology a 2-hydroxypyridine 5-monooxygenase (EC 1.14.99.26) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction2-hydroxypyridine + AH2 + O2 25-dihydroxypyridine + A + H2OThe 3 substrates of this enzyme are 2-hydroxypyridine an electron acceptor AH2 and O2 whereas its 3 products are 25-dihydroxypyridine the reduction product A and H2O.This enzyme belongs to the family of oxidoreductases specifically those acting on paired donors with O2 as oxidant and incorporation or reduction of oxygen.
