Trans-acenaphthene-1,2-diol dehydrogenase

In enzymology, a trans-acenaphthene-1,2-diol dehydrogenase is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction


 * (+/-)-trans-acenaphthene-1,2-diol + 2 NADP+ $$\rightleftharpoons$$ acenaphthenequinone + 2 NADPH + 2 H+

Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are (+/-)-trans-acenaphthene-1,2-diol and NADP+, whereas its 3 products are acenaphthenequinone, NADPH, and H+.

This enzyme belongs to the family of oxidoreductases, specifically those acting on diphenols and related substances as donor with NAD+ or NADP+ as acceptor. The systematic name of this enzyme class is (+/-)-trans-acenaphthene-1,2-diol:NADP+ oxidoreductase. This enzyme is also called trans-1,2-acenaphthenediol dehydrogenase.
