In enzymology, a hexadecanol dehydrogenase ( EC 1.1.1.164) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction
- hexadecanol + NAD+ hexadecanal + NADH + H+
Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are hexadecanol and NAD+, whereas its 3 products are hexadecanal, 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 hexadecanol:NAD+ oxidoreductase.
