UniProtKB description:  Involved in the biosynthesis of cobalamin (vitamin B12). Catalyzes the oxidative fragmentation and contraction of the isoalloxazine heterocycle and the cleavage of the ribityl tail of FMN(2) to form 5,6-dimethylbenzimidazole (DMB) and D-erythrose 4-phosphate (E4P). NAD(P)H is only required initially to reduce FMN and oxygen drives the oxidative fragmentation.
