Name alkan-1-ol dehydrogenase (acceptor);
polyethylene glycol dehydrogenase;
alkan-1-ol:(acceptor) oxidoreductase
Class Oxidoreductases;
Acting on the CH-OH group of donors;
With other acceptors
BRITE hierarchy
Sysname alkan-1-ol:acceptor oxidoreductase
Reaction(IUBMB) primary alcohol + acceptor = aldehyde + reduced acceptor [RN:R00639]
Reaction(KEGG) R00639
Show
Substrate primary alcohol [CPD:C00226];
acceptor [CPD:C00028]
Product aldehyde [CPD:C00071];
reduced acceptor [CPD:C00030]
Cofactor PQQ [CPD:C00113]
Comment 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).
