Sarcosine reductase

Sarcosine reductase

In enzymology, a sarcosine reductase (EC number|1.21.4.3) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

:acetyl phosphate + methylamine + thioredoxin disulfide ightleftharpoons N-methylglycine + phosphate + thioredoxin

The 3 substrates of this enzyme are acetyl phosphate, methylamine, and thioredoxin disulfide, whereas its 3 products are N-methylglycine, phosphate, and thioredoxin.

This enzyme belongs to the family of oxidoreductases, specifically those acting on X-H and Y-H to form an X-Y bond with a disulfide as acceptor. The systematic name of this enzyme class is acetyl-phosphate methylamine:thioredoxin disulfide oxidoreductase (N-methylglycine-forming).
