CAS 9028-14-2
:Dehydrogenase, glycerol
Description:
Dehydrogenase, glycerol, also known as glycerol dehydrogenase, is an enzyme that catalyzes the oxidation of glycerol to dihydroxyacetone. This enzyme plays a crucial role in glycerol metabolism, particularly in the conversion of glycerol into intermediates that can enter glycolysis or gluconeogenesis pathways. It is typically found in various organisms, including bacteria and yeast, where it facilitates energy production and metabolic regulation. The enzyme operates through a coenzyme-dependent mechanism, often utilizing NAD+ or NADP+ as electron acceptors. Glycerol dehydrogenase exhibits specificity for its substrate and can be influenced by factors such as pH, temperature, and the presence of inhibitors or activators. Its activity is essential in processes like fermentation and lipid metabolism, making it significant in both biotechnological applications and physiological functions. The CAS number 9028-14-2 uniquely identifies this enzyme in chemical databases, aiding in research and industrial applications related to glycerol utilization.
