Dehydrogenase

A dehydrogenase (also called DHO in the literature) is an enzyme that oxidises a substrate by a reduction reaction which transfers one or more hydrides (H−) to an electron acceptor, usually NAD+/NADP+ or a flavin coenzyme such as FAD or FMN.

Examples

 * aldehyde dehydrogenase
 * acetaldehyde dehydrogenase
 * alcohol dehydrogenase
 * glutamate dehydrogenase (an enzyme that can convert glutamate to α-Ketoglutarate and vice versa).
 * lactate dehydrogenase
 * pyruvate dehydrogenase (a common enzyme which feeds the TCA Cycle in converting Pyruvate to Acetyl CoA)
 * glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (involved in the pentose phosphate pathway)
 * glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (involved in glycolysis)
 * sorbitol dehydrogenase

TCA cycle examples:
 * isocitrate dehydrogenase
 * alpha-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase
 * succinate dehydrogenase
 * malate dehydrogenase
