(+)-Thujan-3-ol dehydrogenase explained

(+)-Thujan-3-ol dehydrogenase
Ec Number:1.1.1.323

(+)-Thujan-3-ol dehydrogenase (d-3-thujanol dehydrogenase, TDH) is an enzyme with systematic name (+)-thujan-3-ol:NAD(P)+ oxidoreductase.[1] This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction

(+)-thujan-3-ol + NAD(P)+

\rightleftharpoons

(+)-thujan-3-one + NAD(P)H + H+

This enzyme is isolated from the plant Tanacetum vulgare.
