EC 1.1.99.20     
Accepted name: alkan-1-ol dehydrogenase (acceptor)
Reaction: primary alcohol + acceptor = aldehyde + reduced acceptor
Other name(s): polyethylene glycol dehydrogenase; alkan-1-ol:(acceptor) oxidoreductase
Systematic name: alkan-1-ol:acceptor oxidoreductase
Comments: A quinoprotein. Acts on C3-C16 linear-chain saturated primary alcohols, C4-C7 aldehydes and on non-ionic surfactants containing polyethylene glycol residues, such as Tween 40 and 60, but not on methanol and only very slowly on ethanol. 2,6-Dichloroindophenol can act as acceptor. cf. EC 1.1.99.8 alcohol dehydrogenase (acceptor).
