Oxidoreductase Genes encode the class of enzymes that catalyze oxidation/reduction reactions (Oxidoreductases). The oxidized substrate is regarded as a hydrogen donor. Systematic enzyme names employ dehydrogenase wherever possible, or reductase; oxidase is only used where O2 is the acceptor. (NCI Thesaurus)
