Catalytic activity:Sarcosine + acceptor + H(2)O = glycine + formaldehyde + reduced acceptor.,cofactor:Binds 1 FAD covalently per monomer.,Disease:Defects in SARDH are a ause of sarcosinemia [MIM:268900]. Sarcosinemia is a metabolic disorder characterized by an increased concentration of sarcosine in plasma and urine due to sarcosine dehydrogenase deficiency. Prevalence has been estimated at 1:28'000 to 1:350'000 in newborn screening programs. Sarcosinemia is most probably a benign condition without significant clinical problems. It is transmitted in an autosomal recessive manner.,pathway:Amine and polyamine degradation; sarcosine degradation; formaldehyde and glycine from sarcosine: step 1/1.,similarity:Belongs to the gcvT family.,
