dehydrogenase
Metabolic hydrogen stripper
Dehydrogenase is an enzyme that catalyzes the removal of hydrogen atoms from a molecule, typically transferring them to another molecule in metabolic reactions.
These enzymes are central to cellular respiration and energy production: alcohol dehydrogenase, lactate dehydrogenase.
Blood levels of certain dehydrogenases serve as diagnostic markers for tissue damage.
