In enzymology, glycine dehydrogenase (cytochrome) (EC 1.4.2.1) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction
The three substrates of this enzyme are glycine, water, and ferricytochrome c. Its products are glyoxylic acid, ammonia, ferrocytochrome c, and two protons. [1] [2]
This enzyme belongs to the family of oxidoreductases, specifically those acting on the CH-NH2 group of donors with a cytochrome as acceptor. The systematic name of this enzyme class is glycine:ferricytochrome-c oxidoreductase (deaminating). This enzyme is also called glycine---cytochrome c reductase. This enzyme participates in glycine, serine and threonine metabolism. [1]
