In enzymology a formate dehydrogenase (cytochrome) (EC 1.2.2.1) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reactionformate + 2 ferricytochrome b1 CO2 + 2 ferrocytochrome b1 + 2 H+Thus the two substrates of this enzyme are formate and ferricytochrome b1 whereas its 3 products are CO2 ferrocytochrome b1 and H+.This enzyme belongs to the family of oxidoreductases specifically those acting on the aldehyde or oxo group of donor with a cytochrome as acceptor.
