Formate dehydrogenase (acceptor)

Formate dehydrogenase (acceptor) (, FDHH, FDH-H, FDH-O, formate dehydrogenase H, formate dehydrogenase O) is an enzyme with systematic name formate:acceptor oxidoreductase. This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction


 * formate + acceptor $$\rightleftharpoons$$ CO2 + reduced acceptor

Formate dehydrogenase H is a cytoplasmic enzyme that oxidizes formate without oxygen transfer] transferring electrons to a hydrogenase.
