2-oxoaldehyde dehydrogenase (NAD)
Ec Number:1.2.1.23
Cas Number:37250-91-2
Go Code:0047551

In enzymology, a 2-oxoaldehyde dehydrogenase (NAD+) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

a 2-oxoaldehyde + NAD+ + H2O

\rightleftharpoons

a 2-oxo acid + NADH + H+

The 3 substrates of this enzyme are 2-oxoaldehyde, NAD+, and H2O, whereas its 3 products are 2-oxo acid, NADH, and H+.

This enzyme participates in pyruvate metabolism.

Nomenclature

This enzyme belongs to the family of oxidoreductases, specifically those acting on the aldehyde or oxo group of donor with NAD+ or NADP+ as acceptor. The systematic name of this enzyme class is 2-oxoaldehyde:NAD+ 2-oxidoreductase.Other names in common use include:
