| EC |
1.17.1.9 |
| Accepted name: |
formate dehydrogenase |
| Reaction: |
formate + NAD+ = CO2 + NADH |
| Other name(s): |
formate-NAD+ oxidoreductase; FDH I; FDH II; N-FDH; formic hydrogen-lyase; formate hydrogenlyase; hydrogenlyase; NAD+-linked formate dehydrogenase; NAD+-dependent formate dehydrogenase; formate dehydrogenase (NAD+); NAD+-formate dehydrogenase; formate benzyl-viologen oxidoreductase; formic acid dehydrogenase |
| Systematic name: |
formate:NAD+ oxidoreductase |
| Comments: |
The enzyme from most aerobic organisms is devoid of redox-active centres but that from the proteobacterium Methylosinus trichosporium contains iron-sulfur centres, flavin and a molybdenum centre [3]. Together with EC 1.12.1.2 hydrogen dehydrogenase, forms a system previously known as formate hydrogenlyase. |
