EC 1.12.1.5

Accepted name: hydrogen dehydrogenase [NAD(P)+]

Reaction: H2 + NAD(P)+ = H+ + NAD(P)H

Other name(s): hydrogenase II (ambiguous)

Systematic name: hydrogen:NAD(P)+ oxidoreductase

Comments: A nickel, iron, iron-sulfur protein. The enzyme from the archaeon Pyrococcus furiosus is part of a heterotetrameric complex where the α and δ subunits function as a hydrogenase while the β and γ subunits function as sulfur reductase (EC 1.12.98.4, sulfhydrogenase). Different from EC 1.12.1.3, hydrogen dehydrogenase (NADP+).
