Methylotrophic bacteria possess a derivative of this enzyme that requires a quinoid cofactor like PQQ to function. The chemical mechanism by which this enzyme proceeds involves the deprotonation of its His-51 and Ser-41 residues, and in mammals this enzyme can be classified as EE, SS, or as an ES hybrid depending on the presence of steroids within its structure. This dimeric oxidoreductase has a much larger 4-subunit variant in yeast, which use this enzyme and (*) acetaldehyde to regenerate NAD+ for use in glycolysis. With an active site containing a zinc atom surrounded by cysteine residues, this enzyme produces aldehydes and ketones from their most reduced form. Fo
