Geraniol dehydrogenase

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In enzymology, a geraniol dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.183) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

geraniol + NADP+ \rightleftharpoons geranial + NADPH + H+

Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are geraniol and NADP+, whereas its 3 products are geranial, NADPH, 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 geraniol:NADP+ oxidoreductase.
