(R)-aminopropanol dehydrogenase
Template:Short description Template:Infobox enzyme In enzymology, a (R)-aminopropanol dehydrogenase (Template:EC number) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction
- (R)-1-aminopropan-2-ol + NADTemplate:Sup aminoacetone + NADH + HTemplate:Sup
Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are (R)-1-aminopropan-2-ol and [[nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide|NADTemplate:Sup]], whereas its 3 products are aminoacetone, NADH, and [[hydrogen ion|HTemplate:Sup]].
This enzyme belongs to the family of oxidoreductases, specifically those acting on the CH-OH group of donor with NADTemplate:Sup or NADPTemplate:Sup as acceptor. The systematic name of this enzyme class is (R)-1-aminopropan-2-ol:NADTemplate:Sup oxidoreductase. Other names in common use include L-aminopropanol dehydrogenase, 1-aminopropan-2-ol-NADTemplate:Sup dehydrogenase, L(Template:Sup)-1-aminopropan-2-ol:NADTemplate:Sup oxidoreductase, 1-aminopropan-2-ol-dehydrogenase, DL-1-aminopropan-2-ol: NADTemplate:Sup dehydrogenase, and L(Template:Sup)-1-aminopropan-2-ol-NADTemplate:Sup/NADPTemplate:Sup oxidoreductase. This enzyme participates in glycine, serine and threonine metabolism. It requires potassium as a cofactor.
