Fluoroacetaldehyde dehydrogenase

In enzymology, a fluoroacetaldehyde dehydrogenase (EC number|1.2.1.69) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

:fluoroacetaldehyde + NAD⁺ + H₂O $ightleftharpoons$ fluoroacetate + NADH + 2 H⁺

The 3 substrates of this enzyme are fluoroacetaldehyde, NAD⁺, and H₂O, whereas its 3 products are fluoroacetate, NADH, and H⁺.

This enzyme belongs to the family of oxidoreductases, specifically those acting on the aldehyde or oxo group of donor with NAD+ or NADP+ as acceptor. The systematic name of this enzyme class is fluoroacetaldehyde:NAD+ oxidoreductase.
