Reaction: an aldehyde + a quinone + H2O = a carboxylate + a quinol
Other name(s): aldehyde dehydrogenase (acceptor)
Systematic name: aldehyde:quinone oxidoreductase
Comments: Wide specificity; acts on straight-chain aldehydes up to C10, aromatic aldehydes, glyoxylate and glyceraldehyde. The enzymes contains a PQQ cofactor and multiple hemes that deliver the electrons to the membrane quinone pool.
