Coniferyl-alcohol dehydrogenase

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

coniferyl alcohol + NADP⁺ $\rightleftharpoons$ coniferyl aldehyde + NADPH + H⁺

Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are coniferyl alcohol and NADP⁺, whereas its 3 products are coniferyl aldehyde, NADPH, and H⁺.

This enzyme belongs to the family of oxidoreductases, specifically those acting on the CH-OH group of donor with NAD⁺ or NADP⁺ as acceptor. The systematic name of this enzyme class is coniferyl-alcohol:NADP⁺ oxidoreductase. This enzyme is also called CAD.
