EC	1.17.98.4
Accepted name:	formate dehydrogenase (hydrogenase)
Reaction:	formate + an [oxidized hydrogenase] = CO2 + a [reduced hydrogenase]
Other name(s):	FDHH; FDH-H; FDH-O; formate dehydrogenase H; formate dehydrogenase O
Systematic name:	formate:[oxidized hydrogenase] oxidoreductase
Comments:	Formate dehydrogenase H is a cytoplasmic enzyme that oxidizes formate without oxygen transfer, transferring electrons to a hydrogenase. The two enzymes form the formate-hydrogen lyase complex [1]. The enzyme contains an [4Fe-4S] cluster, a selenocysteine residue and a molybdopterin cofactor [1].
