Description | This bacterial subfamily of enzymes belongs to the dehydrogenase family with pyrroloquinoline quinone (PQQ) as cofactor, and is the only subfamily that is bound to the membrane. It includes glucose dehydrogenase, which converts D-glucose to D-glucono-1,5-lactone in a reaction that is coupled with the respiratory chain in the periplasmic oxidation of sugars and alcohols in Gram-negative bacteria [ , ]. It also includes glycerol dehydrogenase SldA []. | Name | PQQ-dependent membrane bound dehydrogenase |
Short Name | PQQ_mDH | Type | Family |
