A dehydrogenase (also called DHO in the literature) is an enzyme belonging to the group of Oxidoreductases that oxidizes a substrate by a reduction reaction that transfers one or more hydrides (H−) to an electron acceptor, usually NAD+/NADP+ or a flavin coenzyme such as FAD or FMN. ==Examples== TCA cycle examples: ...
Enzyme which catalyses oxidation of compounds by removing hydrogen.
<enzyme> Enzyme that oxidizes a substrate by transferring hydrogen to an acceptor that is either NAD/NADP or a flavin enzyme. ... (18 Nov 1997) ... 
(de·hy·dro·gen·ase) (de-hi´dro-jen-ās″) an enzyme that catalyzes the transfer of hydrogen or electrons from a donor, oxidizing it, to an acceptor, reducing it.
A class of enzymes which oxidise substrates in the process of removing electrons and hydrogen atoms.Enzyme that oxidizes a substrate by transferring hydrogen to an acceptor that is either NAD+/NADP+ or a flavin enzyme.
Type: Term Pronunciation: dē-hī′drō-jen-ās Definitions: 1. Class name for those enzymes that oxidize substrates by catalyzing removal of hydrogen from metabolites (hydrogen donors) and transferring it to other substances (hydrogen acceptors), which are thus reduced; most of the oxidative enzymes (oxidoreductases, EC class ...
an oxidoreductase enzyme that catalyzes the removal of hydrogen.
