EC 1.17.98.4 Details

show Brenda entry

EC number

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

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].

History

created 2010 as EC 1.1.99.33, transferred 2018 to EC 1.17.99.7, transferred 2020 to 1.17.98.4.
