Entry
EC 1.12.2.1                 Enzyme                                 

Name cytochrome-c3 hydrogenase;
H2:ferricytochrome c3 oxidoreductase;
cytochrome c3 reductase;
cytochrome hydrogenase;
hydrogenase [ambiguous]
Class Oxidoreductases;
Acting on hydrogen as donor;
With a cytochrome as acceptor
BRITE hierarchy
Sysname hydrogen:ferricytochrome-c3 oxidoreductase
Reaction(IUBMB) 2 H2 + ferricytochrome c3 = 4 H+ + ferrocytochrome c3 [RN:R04015]
Reaction(KEGG) R04015
Show
Substrate H2 [CPD:C00282];
ferricytochrome c3 [CPD:C02682]
Product H+ [CPD:C00080];
ferrocytochrome c3 [CPD:C02684]
Cofactor Iron [CPD:C00023];
Nickel [CPD:C00291];
Iron-sulfur [CPD:C00824]
Comment An iron-sulfur protein. Some forms of the enzyme contain nickel
([NiFe]-hydrogenases) and, of these, some contain selenocysteine
([NiFeSe]-hydrogenases). Methylene blue and other acceptors can also
be reduced.
