General Information

General Information Comment Organism
physiological function glutathione-dependent formaldehyde dehydrogenase (GFD) from Taiwanofungus camphorata plays important roles in formaldehyde detoxification and antioxidation. The enzyme is bifunctional. In addition to the GFD activity, it also functions as an effective S-nitrosoglutathione reductase (GSNOR) against nitrosative stress. Formaldehyde detoxification involves the conversion of formaldehyde to formate, which consists of three reactions: The first reaction is a spontaneous condensation reaction between formaldehyde and glutathione producing S-hydroxymethylglutathione (HMGSH). The second reaction, catalyzed by enzyme GFD, is the oxidation of HMGSH to form S-formylglutathione. In the third reaction, catalyzed by S-formylglutathione hydrolase (FGH), formate is formed and glutathione regenerated Taiwanofungus camphoratus
