Alcohol dehydrogenase 1

UniProtKB accession:  P00330

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Preferentially fermentative isozyme that reduces acetaldehyde to ethanol during the fermentation of glucose. Major enzyme required for the conversion of acetaldehyde to ethanol (Probable) (PubMed:22094012). Plays a key role in the carbohydrate metabolism through the regeneration of NAD(+) from glycolytic NADH (Probable). In the reverse reaction, preferentially catalyzes the conversion of primary unbranched alcohols to their corresponding aldehydes. Also shows activity toward secondary alcohols (Probable). Most active with ethanol, and its activity decreases as the size of the alcohol is increased (PubMed:8463307).
