Entry
EC 1.2.99.6                 Enzyme                                 
Name
carboxylate reductase;
aldehyde:(acceptor) oxidoreductase
Class
Oxidoreductases;
Acting on the aldehyde or oxo group of donors;
With other acceptors
BRITE hierarchy
Sysname
aldehyde:acceptor oxidoreductase
Reaction(IUBMB)
an aldehyde + acceptor + H2O = a carboxylate + reduced acceptor [RN:R00544]
Reaction(KEGG)
Substrate
aldehyde [CPD:C00071];
acceptor [CPD:C00028];
H2O [CPD:C00001]
Product
carboxylate [CPD:C00060];
reduced acceptor [CPD:C00030]
Comment
A tungsten protein. Methyl viologen can act as acceptor. In the reverse direction, non-activated acids are reduced by reduced viologens to aldehydes, but not to the corresponding alcohols.
Pathway
Pyruvate metabolism
