UniProt functional annotation for P14941

UniProt code: P14941.

Organism: Thermoanaerobacter brockii (Thermoanaerobium brockii).
Taxonomy: Bacteria; Firmicutes; Clostridia; Thermoanaerobacterales; Thermoanaerobacteraceae; Thermoanaerobacter.
 
Function: Alcohol dehydrogenase with a preference for medium chain secondary alcohols, such as 2-butanol and isopropanol. Has very low activity with primary alcohols, such as ethanol. Under physiological conditions, the enzyme reduces aldehydes and 2-ketones to produce secondary alcohols. Is also active with acetaldehyde and propionaldehyde. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:20102159}.
 
Catalytic activity: Reaction=NADP(+) + propan-2-ol = acetone + H(+) + NADPH; Xref=Rhea:RHEA:21792, ChEBI:CHEBI:15347, ChEBI:CHEBI:15378, ChEBI:CHEBI:17824, ChEBI:CHEBI:57783, ChEBI:CHEBI:58349; EC=1.1.1.80; Evidence={ECO:0000269|PubMed:20102159};
Cofactor: Name=Zn(2+); Xref=ChEBI:CHEBI:29105; Evidence={ECO:0000269|PubMed:20102159}; Note=Binds 1 zinc ion per subunit. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:20102159};
Subunit: Homotetramer. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:20102159, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9836873}.
Similarity: Belongs to the zinc-containing alcohol dehydrogenase family. {ECO:0000305}.
