Amyloid b-peptide-binding alcohol dehydrogenase (ABAD) is a member of the family of short chain dehydrogenase/reductases; unique among this family, it binds amyloid b-peptide and exhibits enzymatic activity toward a wide variety of substrates including linear alcohols. In an amyloid beta-abundant environment, ABAD appears to trigger cell stress induced by the amyloid peptide.
