In enzymology, phenylacetaldehyde dehydrogenase (EC 1.2.1.39) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

+ NAD+
 
 
H2O
H+
H2O
H+
 
 

The three substrates of this enzyme are phenylacetaldehyde, oxidised nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+), and water. Its products are phenylacetic acid, reduced NADH, and a proton.[1][2]

This enzyme belongs to the family of oxidoreductases, specifically those acting on the aldehyde or oxo group of donor with NAD+ or NADP+ as acceptor. The systematic name of this enzyme class is phenylacetaldehyde:NAD+ oxidoreductase. This enzyme participates in phenylalanine metabolism and styrene degradation.
