alcohol dehydrogenase Proteins and Enzymes

ADH (alcohol dehydrogenase) family of proteins metabolize a variety of substances such as ethanol, retinal, other aliphatic alcohol, hydroxysteroids, and lipid peroxidation products. With the coenzyme NAD, ADH catalyzes the reversible conversion of organic alcohol to ketones or aldehydes. ADH play a major role in ethanol metabolism.
