Nitrite dismutase (EC 1.7.6.1, Prolixin S, Nitrophorin 7) is an enzyme with systematic name nitrite:nitrite oxidoreductase. ^{[1] [2]} This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction

3 nitrite + 2 H⁺${\displaystyle \rightleftharpoons }$ 2 nitric oxide + nitrate + H₂O

Nitrite dismutase contains ferriheme b.
