Salicylaldehyde dehydrogenase

Template:Infobox enzyme In enzymology, a salicylaldehyde dehydrogenase (Template:EC number) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

salicylaldehyde + NAD⁺ + H₂O $\rightleftharpoons$ salicylate + NADH + 2 H⁺

The 3 substrates of this enzyme are salicylaldehyde, NAD⁺, and H₂O, whereas its 3 products are salicylate, NADH, 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. The systematic name of this enzyme class is salicylaldehyde:NAD+ oxidoreductase. This enzyme participates in naphthalene and anthracene degradation.
