Enzyme Information
| 1.1.1.- | With NAD(+) or NADP(+) as acceptor. based on mapping to UniProt P11766 | 
| 1.1.1.1 | Alcohol dehydrogenase. based on mapping to UniProt P11766 (1) A primary alcohol + NAD(+) = an aldehyde + 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. | 
| 1.1.1.284 | S-(hydroxymethyl)glutathione dehydrogenase. based on mapping to UniProt P11766 S-(hydroxymethyl)glutathione + NAD(P)(+) = S-formylglutathione + NAD(P)H. -!- The substrate, S-(hydroxymethyl)glutathione, forms spontaneously from glutathione and formaldehyde; its rate of formation is increased in some bacteria by the presence of EC 4.4.1.22. -!- Forms part of the pathway that detoxifies formaldehyde, since the product is hydrolyzed by EC 3.1.2.12. -!- Also specifically reduces S-nitrosylglutathione. -!- Formerly EC 1.2.1.1. |
