Glutamate-5-semialdehyde dehydrogenase

Template:Infobox enzyme In enzymology, a glutamate-5-semialdehyde dehydrogenase (Template:EC number) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

L-glutamate 5-semialdehyde + phosphate + NADP⁺ $\rightleftharpoons$ L-glutamyl 5-phosphate + NADPH + H⁺

The 3 substrates of this enzyme are L-glutamate 5-semialdehyde, phosphate, and NADP⁺, whereas its 3 products are L-glutamyl 5-phosphate, NADPH, and H⁺.

This enzyme belongs to the family of oxidoreductases, specifically those acting on the aldehyde or oxo group of donor with NAD+ or NADP+ as acceptor. The systematic name of this enzyme class is L-glutamate-5-semialdehyde:NADP+ 5-oxidoreductase (phosphorylating). Other names in common use include beta-glutamylphosphate reductase, gamma-glutamyl phosphate reductase, beta-glutamylphosphate reductase, glutamate semialdehyde dehydrogenase, and glutamate-gamma-semialdehyde dehydrogenase. This enzyme participates in urea cycle and metabolism of amino groups.

Structural studies

As of late 2007, 3 structures have been solved for this class of enzymes, with PDB accession codes Template:PDB link, Template:PDB link, and Template:PDB link.
