Mycothiol-dependent formaldehyde dehydrogenase
In enzymology, a mycothiol-dependent formaldehyde dehydrogenase () is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction The 3 substrates of this enzyme are formaldehyde, mycothiol, and NAD, whereas its 3 products are S-formylmycothiol, NADH, and H. This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction This enzyme belongs to the family of oxidoreductases, specifically those acting on the aldehyde or oxo group of donor with NAD+ or NADP+ as acceptor. The systematic name of this enzyme class is formaldehyde:NAD+ oxidoreductase (mycothiol-formylating). This enzyme is also called NAD/factor-dependent formaldehyde dehydrogenase or S-(hydroxymethyl)mycothiol dehydrogenase. Mycothiol-dependent
