Hence, this enzyme has one substrate, formaldehyde, and two products, formate and methanol.
This enzyme belongs to the family of oxidoreductases, specifically those acting on the aldehyde or oxo group of donor with other acceptors. The systematic name of this enzyme class is formaldehyde:formaldehyde oxidoreductase. Other names in common use include aldehyde dismutase, and cannizzanase.
As of late 2007, only one structure has been solved for this class of enzymes, with the PDB accession code 2DPH.
