| UniProt functional annotation for P35630 | |||
| UniProt code: P35630. |
| Organism: | Entamoeba histolytica. | |
| Taxonomy: | Eukaryota; Amoebozoa; Evosea; Archamoebae; Mastigamoebida; Entamoebidae; Entamoeba. | |
| 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: | Homodimer. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:16627948, ECO:0000269|PubMed:18260103, ECO:0000269|PubMed:20102159}. | |
| Subcellular location: | Cytoplasm. | |
| Similarity: | Belongs to the zinc-containing alcohol dehydrogenase family. {ECO:0000305}. | |
