Other name(s): aldehyde dehydrogenase (acylating); ADA; acylating acetaldehyde dehyrogenase; DmpF
Systematic name: acetaldehyde:NAD+ oxidoreductase (CoA-acetylating)
Comments: Also acts, more slowly, on glycolaldehyde, propanal and butanal. In Pseudomonas species, this enzyme forms part of a bifunctional enzyme with EC 4.1.3.39, 4-hydroxy-2-oxovalerate aldolase. It is the final enzyme in the meta-cleavage pathway for the degradation of phenols, methylphenols and catechol, converting the acetaldehyde produced by EC 4.1.3.39 into acetyl-CoA [3]. NADP+ can replace NAD+ but the rate of reaction is much slower [3].
