A dehydrogenase is an enzyme that oxidizes a substrate by transferring one or more protons and a pair of electrons to an acceptor, usually NAD/NADP or a flavin coenzyme such as FAD or FMN.

Common examples of dehydrogenase enzymes in the TCA cycle are pyruvate dehydrogenase, isocitrate dehydrogenase, alcohol dehydrogenase, acetaldehyde dehydrogenase and alpha-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase.
