In enzymology, glycerol dehydrogenase (acceptor) (EC 1.1.99.22) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

 
 
 
Reversible left-right reaction arrow
 
 
 
+ reduced
acceptor
 

The two substrates of this enzyme are glycerol and an electron acceptor. Its products are dihydroxyacetone and the corresponding reduced acceptor.[1][2]

This enzyme belongs to the family of oxidoreductases, specifically those acting on the CH-OH group of donor with other acceptors. The systematic name of this enzyme class is glycerol:acceptor 1-oxidoreductase. This enzyme is also called glycerol:(acceptor) 1-oxidoreductase. It employs one cofactor, PQQ.
