Cyclohexanol dehydrogenase

In enzymology, a cyclohexanol dehydrogenase is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction


 * cyclohexanol + NAD+ $$\rightleftharpoons$$ cyclohexanone + NADH + H+

Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are cyclohexanol and NAD+, whereas its 3 products are cyclohexanone, NADH, 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 cyclohexanol:NAD+ oxidoreductase. This enzyme participates in caprolactam degradation.
