acetyl phosphate + NH₃ + thioredoxin disulfide + H₂O $rightleftharpoons$ glycine + phosphate + thioredoxin

The 4 substrates of this enzyme are acetyl phosphate, NH₃, thioredoxin disulfide, and H₂O, whereas its 3 products are glycine, phosphate, and thioredoxin.

This enzyme belongs to the family of oxidoreductases, specifically those acting on X-H and Y-H to form an X-Y bond with a disulfide as acceptor. The systematic name of this enzyme class is acetyl-phosphate ammonia:thioredoxin disulfide oxidoreductase (glycine-forming).
