Abstract
The number of classes of mammalian alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) has increased over the last years. Today six classes have been identified (Jörnvall and Höög, 1995), with class V and VI as the most novel forms. Class II ADH, one of the early characterized forms, (Li et al., 1977; Vallee and Bazzone, 1983) is poorly investigated, except for the human enzyme, in contrast to the classical ADH, class I, and the glutathione-dependent formaldehyde dehydrogenase, class III. In addition, the stomach/extrahepatic ADH, class IV, has been extensively investigated the last years.
