| Accepted name: |
2-hydroxy-2-methylpropanal dehydrogenase |
| Reaction: |
2-hydroxy-2-methylpropanal + NAD+ + H2O = 2-hydroxy-2-methylpropanoate + NADH + H+ |
| Other name(s): |
mpdC (gene name) |
| Systematic name: |
2-hydroxy-2-methylpropanal:NAD+ oxidoreductase |
| Comments: |
This bacterial enzyme is involved in the degradation pathways of the alkene 2-methylpropene and the fuel additive tert-butyl methyl ether (MTBE), a widely occurring groundwater contaminant. |
