Aldehyde mutase

Instead of being reduced to ethanol, the acetaldehyde undergoes a dismutation in the presence of an aldehyde mutase, to form alcohol and acetic acid. [Pg.5]

Aldehyde oxidase occurs in milk, and requires no co-enzyme aldehyde mutase is absent from milk, but well-represented in muscle and liver, and requires co-dehydrogenase I (co-enzyme I) for its effect. [Pg.227]

In biochemical parlance, these systems are called mutases, or sometimes isomerases. When Z = OH and Y = OH or NHj, the product eliminates an aldehyde and either HjO or NH3 so that the process is irreversible. Such systems sometimes are referred to as eliminases, dehydrases or ammonia-lyases. Examples of these various types of systems are shown by the first five examples in Figure 8.3, where (CoA)—S represents coenzyme A. It should be noted that the amino mutases, such as ornithine amino mutase, also require pyridoxal phosphate as a cofactor. [Pg.345]
