| Description | Aldehyde dehydrogenases ( and ) are enzymes which oxidize a wide variety of aliphatic and aromatic aldehydes using NAD(P) as a cofactor. In eukaryotes, at least twenty distinct aldehyde dehydrogenase families have been classified [ ]. Many aldehyde dehydrogenases have also been found in prokaryotic species. A glutamic acid and a cysteine residue have been implicated in the catalytic activity of mammalian aldehyde dehydrogenase, though these residues are not necessarily conserved in all the enzymes of this family.The acetaldehyde dehydrogenase family ( ) of bacterial enzymes catalyse the formation of acetyl-CoA from acetaldehyde in the degradation of phenols, cresols and catechol [ ]. Proteins in this entry occur in bacterial species and are annotated as probable acetaldehyde dehydrogenases, though this function has not been experimentally verified. | Name | Acetaldehyde dehydrogenase, acetylating |
