Description
Glycerol dehydrogenase is an enzyme that catalyzes the oxidation of glycerol to dihydroxyacetone, using NAD+ as a cofactor, which is reduced to NADH in the process. This enzyme plays a key role in the metabolism of glycerol and is involved in pathways such as gluconeogenesis and lipid metabolism. Glycerol dehydrogenase is utilized in various industrial applications, including the production of dihydroxyacetone for cosmetic and pharmaceutical products.
