Description
In enzymology, an aldehyde dehydrogenase [NAD(P)+] (EC 1.2.1.5) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction: an aldehyde + NAD(P)+ + H2O ? an acid + NAD(P)H + H+. The 4 substrates of this enzyme are aldehyde, NAD+, NADP+, and H2O, whereas its 4 products are acid, NADH, NADPH, and H+. This enzyme belongs to the family of oxidoreductases, specifically those acting on the aldehyde or oxo group of donor with NAD+ or NADP+ as acceptor. This enzyme participates in 5 metabolic pathways: glycolysis / gluconeogenesis, histidine metabolism, tyrosine metabolism, phenylalanine metabolism, and metabolism of xenobiotics by cytochrome p450.
