Propanediol-phosphate dehydrogenase explained

propanediol-phosphate dehydrogenase
Ec Number:1.1.1.7
Cas Number:9028-15-3
Go Code:0050216

In enzymology, a propanediol-phosphate dehydrogenase is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

propane-1,2-diol 1-phosphate + NAD+

\rightleftharpoons

hydroxyacetone phosphate + NADH + H+

Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are propane-1,2-diol 1-phosphate and NAD+, whereas its 3 products are hydroxyacetone phosphate, 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 propane-1,2-diol-1-phosphate:NAD+ oxidoreductase. Other names in common use include PDP dehydrogenase, 1,2-propanediol-1-phosphate:NAD+ oxidoreductase, and propanediol phosphate dehydrogenase.
