| Other name(s): |
NAD+-farnesol dehydrogenase |
| Systematic name: |
(2E,6E)-farnesol:NAD+ 1-oxidoreductase |
| Comments: |
The enzyme from the prune mite Carpoglyphus lactis also acts on geraniol with greater activity [cf. EC 1.1.1.347, geraniol dehydrogenase (NAD+)]. Unlike EC 1.1.1.216, farnesol dehydrogenase (NADP+), this enzyme cannot use NADP+ as cofactor. |
