Dimethylamine dehydrogenase
class of enzymes
Dimethylamine dehydrogenase (EC 1.5.8.1) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction
The three substrates of this enzyme are dimethylamine, water, and an electron-transferring flavoprotein. Its products are methylamine, formaldehyde, and the reduced flavoprotein.
This enzyme belongs to the family of oxidoreductases, specifically those acting on the CH-NH group of donors with a flavin as acceptor. The systematic name of this enzyme class is dimethylamine:electron-transferring flavoprotein oxidoreductase. It uses one cofactor, flavin mononucleotide.
The public source identifies “Dimethylamine dehydrogenase” as class of enzymes. This brief keeps that definition visible, then builds a research path around Dimethylamine, dehydrogenase and class.
Why this record matters
A short description can identify a subject without explaining its stakes. For “Dimethylamine dehydrogenase”, the useful work is to connect “class of enzymes” to the records capable of establishing context and consequence.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Feb 19, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q3451993. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference.
A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
