Butanal dehydrogenase

In enzymology, butanal dehydrogenase is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction
The three substrates of this enzyme are butyraldehyde, coenzyme A, and oxidised nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide. Its products are butyryl-CoA, reduced NADH, and a proton. The enzyme can also use nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate as its cofactor.
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 butanal:NAD+ oxidoreductase . This enzyme participates in butanoate metabolism.
