Perillyl alcohol dehydrogenase

In enzymology, a perillyl-alcohol dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.144) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are perillyl alcohol and NAD⁺, whereas its 3 products are perillyl aldehyde, NADH, and H⁺.

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.
