There are 14 EC terms in this cluster

Please note: EC annotations are assigned to the full protein sequence rather than individual protein domains. Since a given protein can contain multiple domains, it is possible that some of the annotations below come from additional domains that occur in the same protein, but have been classified elsewhere in CATH.

Note: The search results have been sorted with the annotations that are found most frequently at the top of the list. The results can be filtered by typing text into the search box at the top of the table.

    Formaldehyde dismutase. [EC: 1.2.98.1]

      S-(hydroxymethyl)glutathione synthase. [EC: 4.4.1.22]
      S-(hydroxymethyl)glutathione = glutathione + formaldehyde.
      • The enzyme from Paracoccus denitrificans accelerates the spontaneous reaction in which the adduct of formaldehyde and glutathione is formed, i.e. the substrate for EC 1.1.1.284, in the formaldehyde- detoxification pathway.
      • Formerly EC 1.2.1.1.
