Lactaldehyde dehydrogenase

UniProtKB accession:  P25553

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Catalyzes the irreversible oxidation of L-lactaldehyde to L-lactate (PubMed:27671251, PubMed:3298215, PubMed:3308886, PubMed:6345530). Also shows high activity with glycolaldehyde and L-glyceraldehyde (PubMed:16731973, PubMed:31850327, PubMed:3275622, PubMed:3308886, PubMed:6345530). Has weaker activity with various aldehydes such as methylglyoxal, propionaldehyde or benzaldehyde (PubMed:16731973, PubMed:3308886). Involved in the degradation of lactaldehyde produced during metabolism of L-fucose and L-rhamnose (PubMed:3275622, PubMed:3298215). It may be involved in several other metabolic pathways (PubMed:3308886).
