1.1.99.33
Accepted name
formate dehydrogenase (acceptor)
Reaction
formate + acceptor = CO2 + reduced acceptor
Other name(s)

Systematic name
formate:acceptor oxidoreductase
Comment
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].
