EC	1.1.1.265
Accepted name:	3-methylbutanal reductase
Reaction:	3-methylbutanol + NAD(P)+ = 3-methylbutanal + NAD(P)H + H+
Systematic name:	3-methylbutanol:NAD(P)+ oxidoreductase
Comments:	The enzyme purified from Saccharomyces cerevisiae catalyses the reduction of a number of straight-chain and branched aldehydes, as well as some aromatic aldehydes.
