Description:
Alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) is an enzyme discovered in the mid-1960s in Drosophila melanogaster. Since then, there has been extensive research on the enzyme. Alcohol dehydrogenase is a dimer, weighing 80 kDa. Alcohol dehydrogenases are a group of seven dehydrogenase enzymes that occur in many organisms and facilitate the interconversion between alcohols and aldehydes or ketones with the reduction of NAD + to NADH. In humans and many other animals, they serve to break down alcohols which could otherwise be toxic, in yeast and many bacteria, some alcohol dehydrogenases catalyze the opposite reaction as part of fermentation. Alcohol dehydrogenase is responsible for catalyzing oxidation of primary and secondary alcohols to aldehydes and ketones, respectively, and also can effect the reverse reaction. It does not work well with primary alcohols. Instead, it works the best with secondary and cyclic alcohols. In humans, it exists in multiple forms as a dimer and is encoded by at least seven different genes.
