Acting on the CH-NH2 group of donors;
With unknown physiological acceptors
 |
| Sysname |
glycine:acceptor oxidoreductase (hydrogen-cyanide-forming)
|
| Reaction(IUBMB) |

|
| Comment |
The enzyme from Pseudomonas sp. contains FAD. The enzyme is membrane-bound, and the 2-electron acceptor is a component of the respiratory chain. The enzyme can act with various artificial electron acceptors, including phenazine methosulfate.
