In enzymology a L-glycol dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.185) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reactionan L-glycol + NAD(P)+ a 2-hydroxycarbonyl compound + NAD(P)H + H+The 3 substrates of this enzyme are L-glycol NAD+ and NADP+ whereas its 4 products are 2-hydroxycarbonyl compound NADH 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.
