In enzymology, hexadecanol dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.164) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

 
 
 
H+
 
H+
 
 

The two substrates of this enzyme are hexadecanol and oxidised nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+). Its products are the aldehyde hexadecanal, reduced NADH, and a proton.[1][2][3]

This enzyme belongs to the family of oxidoreductases, specifically those acting on the CH-OH group of donor with NAD+ or NADP+ as acceptor. The systematic name of this enzyme class is hexadecanol:NAD+ oxidoreductase.
