Material Notes 12-hydroxydodecanoic acid is the substrate of the human glutathione-dependent formaldehyde dehydrogenase (EC1.1.1.1) . The enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of alcohols to aldehydes is a zinc-containing dimeric enzyme responsible for the oxidation of long-chain alcohols and omega-hydroxy fatty acids. (OMIM)
The human glutathione-dependent formaldehyde dehydrogenase is unique among the structurally studied members of the alcohol dehydrogenase family in that it follows a random bi kinetic mechanism forming a binary complex, and a ternary complex with NAD+. (PMID 12196016) [HMDB]
