Vanillin dehydrogenase

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

+ NAD⁺ + H₂O $\rightleftharpoons$ + NADH + H⁺

The 3 substrates of this enzyme are vanillin, NAD⁺, and H₂O, whereas its 3 products are vanillate, 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 vanillin:NAD+ oxidoreductase. This enzyme participates in 2,4-dichlorobenzoate degradation.
