Cyclohexanol dehydrogenase

In enzymology, a cyclohexanol dehydrogenase () is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are cyclohexanol and NAD⁺, whereas its 3 products are cyclohexanone, 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. The systematic name of this enzyme class is cyclohexanol:NAD⁺ oxidoreductase. This enzyme participates in caprolactam degradation.
