Ферменты, катализирующие обратимую реакцию окисления первичных спиртов в альдегиды; А. — индуцибельные ферменты, малоспецифичные в отношении субстрата и действующие на многие линейные и разветвленные спирты, коферменты А. НАД и НАДФ; А. часто используется в качестве популяционно-генетического маркера (ADH), а в случае дрозофил является классическим маркером - представлена двумя изоформами (образуют широтную клину) ADHS и ADHF, различающимися электрофоретической подвижностью и одной аминокислотной заменой (лизин у ADHS и треонин у ADHF в 192-м положении), каждый из изоферментов является димером с молекулярной массой 60 кД.
