Trimethylamine dehydrogenase
In
enzymology
, a
trimethylamine
dehydrogenase
is an
enzyme
that
catalyzes
the
chemical reaction
The 3
substrates
of this enzyme are trimethylamine, H
2
O, and
electron-transferring flavoprotein
,
whereas
its 3
products
are
dimethylamine
,
formaldehyde
, and
reduced electron-transferring flavoprotein
.
This enzyme
belongs to
the
family
of
oxidoreductases
,
specifically
those
acting
on the CH-NH group of
donors
with a
flavin
as
acceptor
. The
systematic name
of this enzyme
class
is
trimethylamine:electron-transferring
flavoprotein
oxidoreductase
. This enzyme participates in
methane metabolism
.
