FunFam 8825: Alcohol dehydrogenase adh

There are 2 EC terms in this cluster

Please note: EC annotations are assigned to the full protein sequence rather than individual protein domains. Since a given protein can contain multiple domains, it is possible that some of the annotations below come from additional domains that occur in the same protein, but have been classified elsewhere in CATH.

Note: The search results have been sorted with the annotations that are found most frequently at the top of the list. The results can be filtered by typing text into the search box at the top of the table.

EC Term Annotations Evidence
Alcohol dehydrogenase. [EC: 1.1.1.1]
(1) An alcohol + NAD(+) = an aldehyde or ketone + NADH. (2) A secondary alcohol + NAD(+) = a ketone + NADH.
  • Acts on primary or secondary alcohols or hemi-acetals with very broad specificity; however the enzyme oxidizes methanol much more poorly than ethanol.
  • The animal, but not the yeast, enzyme acts also on cyclic secondary alcohols.

L-iditol 2-dehydrogenase. [EC: 1.1.1.14]
L-iditol + NAD(+) = L-sorbose + NADH.
  • This enzyme is widely distributed and has been described in archaea, bacteria, yeast, plants and animals.
  • It acts on a number of sugar alcohols, including (but not limited to) L-iditol, D-glucitol, D-xylitol, and D-galactitol.
  • Enzymes from different organisms or tissues display different substrate specificity.
  • The enzyme is specific to NAD(+) and can not use NADP(+).
