- Alkan-1-ol dehydrogenase (acceptor)
In
enzymology , an alkan-1-ol dehydrogenase (acceptor) (EC number|1.1.99.20) is anenzyme that catalyzes thechemical reaction :primary alcohol + acceptor aldehyde + reduced acceptor
Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are
primary alcohol andacceptor , whereas its two products arealdehyde andreduced acceptor .This enzyme belongs to the family of
oxidoreductase s, specifically those acting on the CH-OH group of donor with other acceptors. The systematic name of this enzyme class is alkan-1-ol:acceptor oxidoreductase. Other names in common use include polyethylene glycol dehydrogenase, and alkan-1-ol:(acceptor) oxidoreductase. This enzyme participates infatty acid metabolism . It employs one cofactor,PQQ .References
