In enzymology a NADH peroxidase (EC 1.11.1.1) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reactionNADH + H+ + H2O2 NAD+ + 2 H2OThe presumed function of NADH peroxidase is to inactivate H2O2 generated within the cell for example by glycerol-3-phosphate oxidase during glycerol metabolism or dismutation of superoxide before the H2O2 causes damage to essential cellular components.The 3 substrates of this enzyme are NADH H+ and H2O2 whereas its two products are NAD+ and H2O.
