Acetoin dehydrogenase

Acetoin dehydrogenase (, acetoin dehydrogenase complex, acetoin dehydrogenase enzyme system, AoDH ES) is an enzyme with systematic name acetyl-CoA:acetoin O-acetyltransferase. This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction


 * acetoin + CoA + NAD+ $$\rightleftharpoons$$ acetaldehyde + acetyl-CoA + NADH + H+

This enzyme requires thiamine diphosphate.
