Coniferyl-aldehyde dehydrogenase

Template:Short description Template:Infobox enzyme In enzymology, a coniferyl-aldehyde dehydrogenase (Template:EC number) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

coniferyl aldehyde + H₂O + NAD(P)+ $\rightleftharpoons$ ferulate + NAD(P)H + 2 H⁺

The 4 substrates of this enzyme are coniferyl aldehyde, H₂O, NAD⁺, and NADP⁺, whereas its 4 products are ferulate, 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. The systematic name of this enzyme class is coniferyl aldehyde:NAD(P)+ oxidoreductase.
