Enzyme Commission Number
EC 1.1.1.2
Product Overview
High-quality enzyme products. Well-defined strains can be also provided for our clients to manufacture fermented products in a cost-effective way.
Features
Ready-to-use product, accelerating research progress, enhancing application performance.
Synonyms
aldehyde reductase (NADPH2); NADP-alcohol dehydrogenase; NADP+-aldehyde reductase; NADP+-dependent aldehyde reductase; NADPH-aldehyde reductase; NADPH-dependent aldehyde reductase; nonspecific succinic semialdehyde reductase; ALR 1; low-Km aldehyde reductase; high-Km aldehyde reductase; alcohol dehydrogenase (NADP)
Function
A zinc protein. Some members of this group oxidize only primary alcohols; others act also on secondary alcohols. May be identical with EC 1.1.1.19 (L-glucuronate reductase), EC 1.1.1.33 [mevaldate reductase (NADPH)] and EC 1.1.1.55 [lactaldehyde reductase (NADPH)]. Re-specific with respect to NADPH.
