In enzymology, coniferyl-alcohol dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.194) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

 
 
 
H+
Coniferyl-alcohol dehydrogenase
 
H+
 
 

The two substrates of this enzyme are coniferyl alcohol and oxidised nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADP+). Its products are coniferyl aldehyde, reduced NADPH, and a proton. [1] [2] [3]

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 coniferyl-alcohol:NADP+ oxidoreductase. This enzyme is also called CAD.
