Glycine dehydrogenase

Template:Other uses Template:Infobox enzyme In enzymology, a glycine dehydrogenase (Template:EC number) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

glycine + H₂O + NAD⁺ $\rightleftharpoons$ glyoxylate + NH₃ + NADH + H⁺

The 3 substrates of this enzyme are glycine, H₂O, and NAD⁺, whereas its 4 products are glyoxylate, NH₃, NADH, and H⁺.

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 glycine:NAD+ oxidoreductase (deaminating).

This should not be confused with:

the glycine dehydrogenase (decarboxylating), which is another name for the Glycine cleavage system P-protein (Template:EC number).

or the glycine dehydroganse (cyanide forming)(Template:EC number).

or the glycine dehydrogenase (cytochrome) (Template:EC number).
