Enzyme Information

1.5.8.4
Dimethylglycine dehydrogenase.
based on mapping to UniProt Q63342
N,N-dimethylglycine + 5,6,7,8-tetrahydrofolate + electron-transfer flavoprotein = sarcosine + 5,10-methylenetetrahydrofolate + reduced electron-transfer flavoprotein.
-!- An imine intermediate is channeled from the FAD binding site to the 5,6,7,8-tetrahydrofolate binding site through a 40 A tunnel. -!- In the absence of 5,6,7,8-tetrahydrofolate the enzyme forms formaldehyde. -!- Formerly EC 1.5.99.2.
