1.17.2.3 |
Accepted name: |
formate dehydrogenase (cytochrome-c-553) |
Reaction: |
formate + 2 ferricytochrome c-553 = CO2 + 2 ferrocytochrome c-553 + H+ |
Systematic name: |
formate:ferricytochrome-c-553 oxidoreductase |
Comments: |
The enzyme has been characterized from the bacterium Desulfovibrio vulgaris. In vitro, yeast cytochrome c, ferricyanide and phenazine methosulfate can act as acceptors. |
