Alanine dehydrogenase (EC 1.4.1.1) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

+ NADH + NH3
 

The three substrates of this enzyme are alanine, water, and oxidised nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+). Its products are pyruvic acid, reduced NADH, ammonia, and a proton.[1][2][3]

This enzyme participates in taurine and hypotaurine metabolism and reductive carboxylate cycle (CO2 fixation).[1]

Nomenclature

This enzyme belongs to the family of oxidoreductases, specifically those acting on the CH-NH2 group of donors with NAD+ or NADP+ as acceptor. The systematic name of this enzyme class is L-alanine:NAD+ oxidoreductase (deaminating). Other names in common use include AlaDH, L-alanine dehydrogenase, NAD+-linked alanine dehydrogenase, alpha-alanine dehydrogenase, NAD+-dependent alanine dehydrogenase, alanine oxidoreductase, and NADH-dependent alanine dehydrogenase.

Structure

Alanine dehydrogenase contains both a N-terminus[4] and C-terminus domains.[5][6]
