| Description | This entry represents two distinct enzymes: bacterial NAD-linked glycerol dehydrogenase and archaeal glycerol-1-phosphate dehydrogenase. NAD-linked glycerol dehydrogenase converts glycerol to glycerone and s NADH during glycerol metabolism [ , ]. Glycerol-1-phosphate dehydrogenase is responsible for the formation of the archaeal-specific glycerophosphate backbone of phospholipids, G-1-P, from glycerone phosphate []. This is the key step in the in biosynthesis of archaeal enantiomeric phospholipids, [].There is similarity in the structure of these enzymes despite the differences in substrate specificity and biological role [ ]. | Name | Glycerol dehydrogenase |
| Short Name | Glycerol_DH | Type | Family |
