Alcohol dehydrogenase (cytochrome c)

Alcohol dehydrogenase (cytochrome c) (, type I quinoprotein alcohol dehydrogenase, quinoprotein ethanol dehydrogenase) is an enzyme with systematic name alcohol:cytochrome c oxidoreductase. This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction


 * a primary alcohol + 2 ferricytochrome c $$\rightleftharpoons$$ an aldehyde + 2 ferrocytochrome c + 2 H+

A periplasmic PQQ-containing quinoprotein is present in Pseudomonas and Rhodopseudomonas.
