| Accepted name: |
carboxylate reductase |
| Reaction: |
an aldehyde + acceptor + H2O = a carboxylate + reduced acceptor |
| Other name(s): |
aldehyde:(acceptor) oxidoreductase |
| Systematic name: |
aldehyde:acceptor oxidoreductase |
| Comments: |
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. |
