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.
