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 1.1.2.7, methanol dehydrogenase (cytochrome c) and EC 1.1.2.8, alcohol dehydrogenase (cytochrome c). |
