Nitrate reductase (cytochrome) (EC 1.9.6.1, respiratory nitrate reductase, benzyl viologen-nitrate reductase) is an enzyme with systematic name ferrocytochrome:nitrate oxidoreductase.^[1] This enzyme catalises the following chemical reaction

2 ferrocytochrome + 2 H⁺ + nitrate

\rightleftharpoons

2 ferricytochrome + nitrite
