This enzyme belongs to the family of
oxidoreductases, specifically those acting on other nitrogenous compounds as donors with a cytochrome as acceptor. The
systematic name of this enzyme class is trimethylamine:cytochrome c oxidoreductase. Other names in common use include TMAO reductase, and TOR. This enzyme participates in
two-component system - general.
