In [[enzymology]], an '''alkan-1-ol dehydrogenase (acceptor)''' ({{EC number|1.1.99.20}}) is an [[enzyme]] that [[catalysis|catalyzes]] the [[chemical reaction]]

:primary alcohol + acceptor <math>\rightleftharpoons</math> aldehyde + reduced acceptor

Thus, the two [[substrate (biochemistry)|substrates]] of this enzyme are [[primary alcohol]] and [[Electron acceptor|acceptor]], whereas its two [[product (chemistry)|products]] are [[aldehyde]] and [[reduced acceptor]].

This enzyme belongs to the family of [[oxidoreductase]]s, specifically those acting on the CH-OH group of donor with other acceptors.  The systematic name of this enzyme class is '''alkan-1-ol:acceptor oxidoreductase'''. Other names in common use include '''polyethylene glycol dehydrogenase''', and '''alkan-1-ol:(acceptor) oxidoreductase'''.  This enzyme participates in [[fatty acid metabolism]].  It employs one [[cofactor (biochemistry)|cofactor]], [[Pyrroloquinoline quinone|PQQ]].
