1,3-Propanediol (1,3-PD) dehydrogenase This family includes 1,3-propanediol (1,3-PD) dehydrogenase, a key enzyme in the microbial production of 1,3-PD that has been previously characterized as the product of dhaT gene in Klebsiella pneumoniae. 1,3-PD dehydrogenase is a member of the family III metal-dependent polyol dehydrogenases, which are shown to require a divalent metal ion for catalysis. However, some members of this family showed a dependence on Fe(2+) or Zn(2+) for activity.
