In [[enzymology]], an '''alcohol dehydrogenase [NAD(P)<sup>+</sup>]''' ({{EC number|1.1.1.71}}) is an [[enzyme]] that [[catalysis|catalyzes]] the [[chemical reaction]]

:an alcohol + NAD(P)<sup>+</sup> <math>\rightleftharpoons</math> an aldehyde + NAD(P)H + H<sup>+</sup>

The 3 [[substrate (biochemistry)|substrates]] of this enzyme are [[Alcohol (chemistry)|alcohol]], [[nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide|NAD<sup>+</sup>]], and [[nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate|NADP<sup>+</sup>]], whereas its 4 [[product (chemistry)|products]] are [[aldehyde]], [[nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide|NADH]], [[nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate|NADPH]], and [[hydrogen ion|H<sup>+</sup>]].

This enzyme belongs to the family of [[oxidoreductase]]s, specifically those acting on the CH-OH group of donor with NAD<sup>+</sup> or NADP<sup>+</sup> as acceptor. The [[List of enzymes|systematic name]] of this enzyme class is '''alcohol:NAD(P)<sup>+</sup> oxidoreductase'''. Other names in common use include '''retinal reductase''', '''aldehyde reductase (NADPH/NADH)''', and '''alcohol dehydrogenase [NAD(P)]'''. This enzyme participates in [[glycolysis]] and [[gluconeogenesis]].
