Alcohol dehydrogenase (Alcohol DH, ADH) (EC 1.1.1.1) is a group of seven dehydrogenase
enzymes that occur in many organisms and facilitate the interconversion between alcohols
and aldehydes or ketones with the reduction of NAD+ to NADH. In humans and many other
animals, they serve to break down alcohols which could otherwise be toxic; in yeast and
many bacteria, some alcohol dehydrogenases catalyze the opposite reaction as part of fermentation. The Alcohol Dehydrogenase Assay Kit provides a convenient tool for sensitive detection of the Alcohol DH in a variety of samples. In the assay Alcohol DH will utilize isopropanol as a substrate leading to a proportional color development. The activity of ADH can be easily quantified colorimetrically (lambda = 450nm). This assay detects ADH activity as low as 0.01mU in samples.
