Horse Liver Alcohol Dehydrogenase

General Information

Alcohol dehydrogenase (LADH) is found in the liver of the species Equus Caballus (horse). It is a dimeric zinc-dependant protein, that catalyzes the reversible oxidation of primary and secondary alcohols to aldehyde, requiring the transfer of a hydride ion from the alcohol substrate to the cofactor nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD).
