In enzymology, glycine dehydrogenase (cyanide-forming) (EC 1.4.99.5) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

 
 
CO2
 
CO2
 
+ 2 reduced acceptor
 

The two substrates of this enzyme are glycine and an electron acceptor. Its products are hydrogen cyanide, carbon dioxide, and reduced acceptor.[1][2][3][4][5]

This enzyme belongs to the family of oxidoreductases, specifically those acting on the CH-NH2 group of donors with other acceptors. The systematic name of this enzyme class is glycine:acceptor oxidoreductase (hydrogen-cyanide-forming). Other names in common use include hydrogen cyanide synthase, and HCN synthase.
