A dehydrogenase is an enzyme that oxidizes a substrate by transferring one or more protons and a pair of electrons to an acceptor, usually NAD/NADP or a flavin coenzyme such as FAD or FMN.
Examples
- aldehyde dehydrogenase
- acetaldehyde dehydrogenase
- alcohol dehydrogenase
- glutamate dehydrogenase (an enzyme that can convert glutamate to α-Ketoglutarate and vice versa).
- lactate dehydrogenase
- pyruvate dehydrogenase (a common enzyme which feeds the TCA Cycle in converting Pyruvate to Acetyl CoA)
- glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (involved in the pentose phosphate pathway)
- glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (involved in glycolysis)
TCA cycle examples:
- isocitrate dehydrogenase
- alpha-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase
- succinate dehydrogenase
- malate dehydrogenase
