Enzyme Information

1.2.7.5
Aldehyde ferredoxin oxidoreductase.
based on mapping to UniProt Q51739
An aldehyde + H(2)O + 2 oxidized ferredoxin = a carboxylate + 2 H(+) + 2 reduced ferredoxin.
-!- This is an oxygen-sensitive enzyme. -!- Catalyzes the oxidation of aldehydes (including crotonaldehyde, acetaldehyde, formaldehyde and glyceraldehyde) to their corresponding acids. -!- However, it does not oxidize glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate (see EC 1.2.7.6). -!- Can use ferredoxin or methylviologen but not NAD(P)(+) as electron acceptor.
