19369258 Tralau T, Lafite P, Levy C, Combe JP, Scrutton NS, Leys D: An internal reaction chamber in dimethylglycine oxidase provides efficient protection from exposure to toxic formaldehyde. J Biol Chem. 2009 Jun 26;284(26):17826-34. Epub 2009 Apr 15.

The catabolism of dimethylglycine through methyl group oxidation can potentially liberate toxic formaldehyde, a problem common to many amine oxidases and dehydrogenases.
