alcohol dehydrogenase catalytic domain-containing protein
This is the catalytic domain of alcohol dehydrogenases. Many of them contain an inserted zinc binding domain. This domain has a GroES-like structure [1-2]. [1]. 8804825.

zinc-binding dehydrogenase
S-(hydroxymethyl)glutathione dehydrogenase/class III alcohol dehydrogenase
The members of this protein family show dual function. First, they remove formaldehyde, a toxic metabolite, by acting as S-(hydroxymethyl)glutathione dehydrogenase (1.1.1.284). S-(hydroxymethyl)glutathione can form spontaneously from formaldehyde and glutathione, and so this enzyme previously was designated glutathione-dependent formaldehyde dehydrogenase. These same proteins are also designated alcohol dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.1) of class III, for activities that do not require glutathione; they tend to show poor activity for ethanol among their various substrate alcohols.
