ID   1.2.98.1
DE   formaldehyde dismutase.
CA   2 formaldehyde + H2O = formate + H(+) + methanol.
CC   -!- Enzyme-bound NADPH formed by oxidation of formaldehyde to formate is
CC       oxidized back to NADP(+) by reaction with a second formaldehyde,
CC       yielding methanol.
CC   -!- The enzyme from Mycobacterium sp. DSM 3803 also catalyzes the
CC       reactions of EC 1.1.99.36 and EC 1.1.99.37.
CC   -!- Formaldehyde and acetaldehyde can act as donors; formaldehyde,
CC       acetaldehyde and propanal can act as acceptors.
CC   -!- Formerly EC 1.2.99.4.
