In enzymology, an omega-hydroxydecanoate dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.66) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction
- 10-hydroxydecanoate + NAD+ ⇌ 10-oxodecanoate + NADH + H+
Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are 10-hydroxydecanoate and NAD+, whereas its 3 products are 10-oxodecanoate, NADH, and H+.
This enzyme belongs to the family of oxidoreductases, specifically those acting on the CH-OH group of donor with NAD+ or NADP+ as acceptor. The systematic name of this enzyme class is 10-hydroxydecanoate:NAD+ 10-oxidoreductase.
