Dichloromethane dehalogenase

Dichloromethane dehalogenase (EC 4.5.1.3; systematic name dichloromethane chloride-lyase (adding H₂O; chloride-hydrolysing; formaldehyde-forming)) is a lyase enzyme that generates formaldehyde.

dichloromethane + H₂O = formaldehyde + 2 chloride

Glutathione is required for its activity.
