Identification
Name:S-(hydroxymethyl)glutathione dehydrogenase
Synonyms:
  • Alcohol dehydrogenase class-3
  • Alcohol dehydrogenase class-III
  • Glutathione-dependent formaldehyde dehydrogenase
  • FALDH
  • FDH
  • GSH-FDH
Gene Name:frmA
Enzyme Class:
Biological Properties
General Function:Involved in zinc ion binding
Specific Function:Has high formaldehyde dehydrogenase activity in the presence of glutathione and catalyzes the oxidation of normal alcohols in a reaction that is not GSH-dependent. In addition, hemithiolacetals other than those formed from GSH, including omega-thiol fatty acids, also are substrates
Cellular Location:Cytoplasm
