This family contains proteins similar to iron-containing alcohol dehydrogenase (Fe-ADH), most of which have not been characterized. Their specific function is unknown. The protein structure represents a dehydroquinate synthase-like fold and belongs to the alcohol dehydrogenase-like superfamily. It is distinct from other alcohol dehydrogenases which contain different protein domains. Alcohol dehydrogenase catalyzes the reduction of acetaldehyde to alcohol with NADP as cofactor. Its activity requires iron ions.
