In enzymology, an alcohol dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.71) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction
- an alcohol + NAD(P) an aldehyde + NAD(P)H + H
The 3 substrates of this enzyme are alcohol, NAD, and NADP, whereas its 4 products are aldehyde, NADH, NADPH, and H.
This enzyme belongs to the family of oxidoreductases, specifically those acting on the CH-OH group of donor with NAD or NADP as acceptor. The systematic name of this enzyme class is alcohol:NAD(P) oxidoreductase. Other names in common use include retinal reductase, aldehyde reductase (NADPH/NADH), and alcohol dehydrogenase . This enzyme participates in glycolysis and gluconeogenesis.
