Hexadecanol dehydrogenase

In enzymology, hexadecanol dehydrogenase is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction
The two substrates of this enzyme are hexadecanol and oxidised nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide. Its products are the aldehyde hexadecanal, reduced NADH, and a proton.
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 hexadecanol:NAD⁺ oxidoreductase.
