SYSTEMATIC NAME
IUBMB Comments
S-(hydroxymethyl)glutathione formaldehyde-lyase (glutathione-forming)
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, S-(hydroxymethyl)glutathione dehydrogenase, in the formaldehyde-detoxification pathway.
