EC 1.5.8.2 Details

show Brenda entry

EC number

1.5.8.2

Accepted name

trimethylamine dehydrogenase

Reaction

trimethylamine + H₂O + electron-transfer flavoprotein = dimethylamine + formaldehyde + reduced electron-transfer flavoprotein

Systematic name

trimethylamine:electron-transfer flavoprotein oxidoreductase (demethylating)

CAS registry number

39307-09-0

Comment

A number of alkyl-substituted derivatives of trimethylamine can also act as electron donors; phenazine methosulfate and 2,6-dichloroindophenol can act as electron acceptors. Contains FAD and a [4Fe-4S] cluster.

History

created 1976 as EC 1.5.99.7, transferred 2002 to EC 1.5.8.2
