In enzymology a formate dehydrogenase (cytochrome-c-553) (EC 1.2.2.3) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reactionformate + ferricytochrome c-553 CO2 + ferrocytochrome c-553Thus the two substrates of this enzyme are formate and ferricytochrome c-553 whereas its two products are CO2 and ferrocytochrome c-553.This enzyme belongs to the family of oxidoreductases specifically those acting on the aldehyde or oxo group of donor with a cytochrome as acceptor.
