Overview
Alcohol dehydrogenase, zinc-type, conserved site (IPR002328)
Short name: ADH_Zn_CS
Description
Alcohol dehydrogenase (EC:1.1.1.1) (ADH) catalyzes the reversible oxidation of ethanol to acetaldehyde with the concomitant reduction of NAD:
- Zinc-containing 'long-chain' alcohol dehydrogenases.
- Insect-type, or 'short-chain' alcohol dehydrogenases.
- Iron-containing alcohol dehydrogenases.
A number of other zinc-dependent dehydrogenases are closely related to zinc ADH [PMID: 8504864] and are included in this family, including xylitol dehydrogenase (EC:1.1.1.9); sorbitol dehydrogenase (EC:1.1.1.14); aryl-alcohol dehydrogenase (EC:1.1.1.90); threonine 3-dehydrogenase (EC:1.1.1.103); cinnamyl-alcohol dehydrogenase (EC:1.1.1.195) (CAD); galactitol-1-phosphate dehydrogenase (EC:1.1.1.251); and Pseudomonas putida 5-exo-alcohol dehydrogenase (EC:1.1.1).
