Perillyl-alcohol dehydrogenase

In enzymology, perillyl-alcohol dehydrogenase is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction
The two substrates of this enzyme are -perillyl alcohol and oxidised nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide. Its products are -perillaldehyde, 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 perillyl-alcohol:NAD⁺ oxidoreductase. This enzyme is also called perillyl alcohol dehydrogenase. This enzyme participates in limonene and pinene degradation.
