(S)-mandelate dehydrogenase

UniProtKB accession:  P20932

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Catalyzes the dehydrogenation of (S)-mandelate to phenylglyoxylate (benzoylformate) (PubMed:10493804, PubMed:19465768). Is likely involved in the utilization of mandelate as a sole source of carbon and energy for growth (Probable). Active in vitro with the artificial electron acceptors 2,6-dichlorophenolindophenol (DCPIP) or ferricyanide, but in vivo most likely transfer the electron pair from the reduced flavin to a component of the electron transport chain in the membrane, possibly a quinone (PubMed:10493804, PubMed:19465768). Shows very low activity with oxygen as the electron acceptor, and also with 3-indolelactate and medium chain 2-hydroxyacids as substrates (PubMed:10493804, PubMed:19465768).
