Phenylacetaldehyde dehydrogenase
H2O
H+
 
+ NADH
 

The three substrates of this enzyme are phenylacetaldehyde, oxidised nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+), and water. Its products are phenylacetic acid, reduced NADH, and a proton. [1] [2]

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. The systematic name of this enzyme class is phenylacetaldehyde:NAD+ oxidoreductase. This enzyme participates in phenylalanine metabolism and styrene degradation.
