Description
This homodimer belongs to the iron-containing alcohol dehydrogenase family for alcohol metabolism; butanol biosynthesis. Butanol dehydrogenase catalyzes the final reaction in the formation of butanol. NADH-dependent butanol dehydrogenase is a product of the bdhB gene of Clostridium acetobutylicum ATCC 824. While bdhB is primarily NADH-dependent, some activity with NADPH was observed. [Walter et al. 174(22):7149 (1992)]
Notes
bdhA comes from the (-) strand
