Reaction: an aldehyde + H2O + acceptor = a carboxylate + reduced acceptor
Other name(s): aldehyde oxidase; aldehyde oxidoreductase; Mop; AORDd
Systematic name: aldehyde:acceptor oxidoreductase (FAD-independent)
Comments: Belongs to the xanthine oxidase family of enzymes. The enzyme from Desulfovibrio sp. contains a molybdenum-molybdopterin-cytosine dinucleotide (MCD) complex and two types of [2Fe-2S] cluster per monomer, but does not contain FAD.
