ENZYME entry: EC 1.2.98.1

Accepted Name
formaldehyde dismutase
Reaction catalysed
2 formaldehyde + H2O <=> formate + H(+) + methanol
Comment(s)
  • Enzyme-bound NADPH formed by oxidation of formaldehyde to formate is oxidized back to NADP(+) by reaction with a second formaldehyde, yielding methanol.
  • The enzyme from Mycobacterium sp. DSM 3803 also catalyzes the reactions of EC 1.1.99.36 and EC 1.1.99.37.
  • Formaldehyde and acetaldehyde can act as donors; formaldehyde, acetaldehyde and propanal can act as acceptors.
  • Formerly EC 1.2.99.4.
