In enzymology, a ferredoxin hydrogenase (EC 1.12.7.2) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction
Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are H2 and oxidized ferredoxin, whereas its two products are reduced ferredoxin and H+.
This enzyme belongs to the family of oxidoreductases, specifically those acting on hydrogen as donor with an iron-sulfur protein as acceptor. The systematic name of this enzyme class is hydrogen:ferredoxin oxidoreductase. Other names in common use include H2 oxidizing hydrogenase, H2 producing hydrogenase [ambiguous], bidirectional hydrogenase, hydrogen-lyase [ambiguous], hydrogenase (ferredoxin), hydrogenase I, hydrogenase II, hydrogenlyase [ambiguous], and uptake hydrogenase [ambiguous]. This enzyme participates in glyoxylate and dicarboxylate metabolism and methane metabolism. It has 3 cofactors: iron, Sulfur, and Nickel.
