EC 1.2.7.5 Details
EC number
1.2.7.5
Accepted name
aldehyde ferredoxin oxidoreductase
Reaction
an aldehyde + H2O + 2 oxidized ferredoxin = a carboxylate + 2 H+ + 2 reduced ferredoxin
Other name(s)
AOR
Systematic name
aldehyde:ferredoxin oxidoreductase
CAS registry number
138066-90-7
Comment
This is an oxygen-sensitive enzyme that contains tungsten-molybdopterin and iron-sulfur clusters. Catalyses the oxidation of aldehydes (including crotonaldehyde, acetaldehyde, formaldehyde and glyceraldehyde) to their corresponding acids. However, it does not oxidize glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate [see EC 1.2.7.6, glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (ferredoxin)]. Can use ferredoxin or methyl viologen but not NAD(P)+ as electron acceptor.
