Alcohol dehydrogenase

Japanese: アルコールデヒドロゲナーゼ
Alcohol dehydrogenase

EC 1.1.1.1. Also known as alcohol dehydrogenase. An enzyme that catalyzes the following reaction:

R- CH2OH + NAD R-CHO + reduced NAD

R-CHOH-R′+NAD R-CO-R′+reduced NAD

In alcohol fermentation, it is an important enzyme that reduces acetaldehyde to produce ethanol. In addition to ethanol, it is active against the following substrates, in that order: 1-propanol, 1-butanol, 1-pentanol, methanol, and glycol. It is found in yeast, higher plants, and the liver. The crystalline preparation from yeast contains nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD), Zn, and SH groups in the molecule, has a molecular weight of 1.5 x 10 5 , and an optimum pH of approximately 8. In addition to the above, the existence of another type of alcohol dehydrogenase that uses nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADP) as a coenzyme is also known in bacteria. [CAS 9031-72-5]
