In enzymology a glycerol dehydrogenase (NADP+) (EC 1.1.1.72) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reactionglycerol + NADP+ D-glyceraldehyde + NADPH + H+Thus the two substrates of this enzyme are glycerol and NADP+ whereas its 3 products are D-glyceraldehyde NADPH 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 glycerol:NADP+ oxidoreductase.
