Enzyme Information

4.4.1.22
S-(hydroxymethyl)glutathione synthase.
based on mapping to UniProt Q51669
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.
