Butanal dehydrogenase

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

butanal + CoA + NAD(P)+ $\rightleftharpoons$ butanoyl-CoA + NAD(P)H + H⁺

The 4 substrates of this enzyme are butanal, CoA, NAD⁺, and NADP⁺, whereas its 4 products are butanoyl-CoA, 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 butanal:NAD(P)+ oxidoreductase (CoA-acylating). This enzyme participates in butanoate metabolism.
