EC 1.17.2.3 Details

show Brenda entry

EC number

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

Comment

The enzyme has been characterized from the bacterium Desulfovibrio vulgaris. In vitro, yeast cytochrome c, ferricyanide and phenazine methosulfate can act as acceptors.

History

created 1981 as EC 1.2.2.3, transferred 2017 to EC 1.17.2.3
