In enzymology, glycine dehydrogenase (cytochrome) (EC 1.4.2.1) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

 
H2O
2 H+
H2O
2 H+
 
+ 2 ferrocytochrome c + NH3
 

The three substrates of this enzyme are glycine, water, and ferricytochrome c. Its products are glyoxylic acid, ammonia, ferrocytochrome c, and two protons.[1][2]

This enzyme belongs to the family of oxidoreductases, specifically those acting on the CH-NH2 group of donors with a cytochrome as acceptor. The systematic name of this enzyme class is glycine:ferricytochrome-c oxidoreductase (deaminating). This enzyme is also called glycine---cytochrome c reductase. This enzyme participates in glycine, serine and threonine metabolism.[1]
