Also written as ADH.

Methanol is oxidized by alcohol dehydrogenase to formaldehyde

What our notes say

• Methanol is oxidized by alcohol dehydrogenase to formaldehyde (Medical Biochemistry II: MBMB 2200 Paper A Answer Key — Part 5)
• Methanol Metabolism in the Liver:Methanol is oxidized by alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) into formaldehyde, which is then rapidly converted by aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH) into formic acid, the primary toxic agent. (Clinical Biochemistry: LAQs and SAQs — Past Paper)
• Oxidized by alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) to formaldehyde (HCHO) (Medical Biochemistry: Specialized Tissues and Exercise Metabolism — Notes)
