Quinoprotein ethanol dehydrogenase

UniProtKB accession:  Q9Z4J7

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Catalyzes the oxidation of ethanol and other primary alcohols to the corresponding aldehydes, except methanol, which is a very poor substrate. Uses a specific inducible cytochrome c550, encoded by the adjacent gene in the locus, as electron acceptor. Is a key enzyme of the carbon and energy metabolism during growth of P.aeruginosa on ethanol as the sole carbon and energy source. Is also able to use secondary alcohols as well as aminoalcohols like ethanolamine and 1-amino-2-propanol, and aldehydes as substrates.
