Abstract

In the previous report ( Okuda et al., 1968) it was suggested that TeHC, which is an intermediate in the conversion of cholesterol to cholic acid ( Danielsson, 1963), is dehydrogenated to THCA by two NAD-linked enzymes, namely TeHC-NAD oxidoreductase and THAL-NAD oxidoreductase in rat liver soluble fraction. In this communication, it will be reported that the TeHC-NAD oxidoreductase and THAL-NAD oxidoreductase from the soluble fraction of rat liver are distinct and separate enzymes, furthermore it will be suggested that TeHC-NAD oxidoreductase activity and ethanol-NAD oxidoreductase (EC 1.1.1.1) activity are due to the same enzyme, and THAL-NAD oxidoreductase activity and acetaldehyde-NAD oxidoreductase (EC 1.2.1.3) activity are due to the same enzyme.
