Arogenate dehydrogenase
In enzymology, arogenate dehydrogenase is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction
The two substrates of this enzyme are L-arogenic acid and oxidised nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide. Its products are L-tyrosine, reduced NADH, and carbon dioxide.
This enzyme belongs to the family of oxidoreductases, specifically those acting on the CH-CH group of donor with NAD+ or NADP+ as acceptor. The systematic name of this enzyme class is L-arogenate:NAD+ oxidoreductase . Other names in common use include arogenic dehydrogenase , cyclohexadienyl dehydrogenase, pretyrosine dehydrogenase , and L-arogenate:NAD+ oxidoreductase. This enzyme participates in phenylalanine, tyrosine and tryptophan biosynthesis and novobiocin biosynthesis.
