In enzymology a lactaldehyde reductase (EC 1.1.1.77) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction(R)[or (S)]-propane-12-diol + NAD+ (R)[or (S)]-lactaldehyde + NADH + H+The 3 substrates of this enzyme are (R)-propane-12-diol (S)-propane-12-diol and NAD+ whereas its 4 products are (R)-lactaldehyde (S)-lactaldehyde NADH 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.
