In enzymology a hexadecanal dehydrogenase (acylating) (EC 1.2.1.42) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reactionhexadecanal + CoA + NAD+ hexadecanoyl-CoA + NADH + H+The 3 substrates of this enzyme are hexadecanal CoA and NAD+ whereas its 3 products are hexadecanoyl-CoA NADH and H+.This enzyme belongs to the family of oxidoreductases specifically those acting on the aldehyde or oxo group of donor with NAD+ or NADP+ as acceptor.
