Alcohol dehydrogenase (nicotinoprotein)

Alcohol dehydrogenase (nicotinoprotein) (, NDMA-dependent alcohol dehydrogenase, nicotinoprotein alcohol dehydrogenase, np-ADH, ethanol:N,N-dimethyl-4-nitrosoaniline oxidoreductase) is an enzyme with systematic name ethanol:acceptor oxidoreductase. This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction


 * ethanol + acceptor $$\rightleftharpoons$$ acetaldehyde + reduced acceptor

This enzyme contains Zn2+.
