Catalysis of the reaction: NO2- (nitrite) + NADP+ + H2O = NO3- (nitrate) + NADPH + H+. Catalysis of the reaction: NO2- (nitrite) + NAD(P)+ + H2O = NO3- (nitrate) + NAD(P)H + H+. Catalysis of the reaction: NO2- (nitrite) + acceptor = NO3- (nitrate) + reduced acceptor. Catalysis of an oxidation-reduction (redox) reaction, a reversible chemical reaction in which the oxidation state of an atom or atoms within a molecule is altered. One substrate acts as a hydrogen or electron donor and becomes oxidized, while the other acts as hydrogen or electron acceptor and becomes reduced. Catalysis of an oxidation-reduction (redox) reaction in which a nitrogenous group, excluding NH and NH2 groups, acts as a hydrogen or electron donor and reduces a hydrogen or electron acceptor. Catalysis of the reaction: NO2- (nitrite) + NAD+ + H2O = NO3- (nitrate) + NADH + H+.
