Glycine dehydrogenase
In enzymology, glycine dehydrogenase is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction
The three substrates of this enzyme are glycine, water, and oxidised nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide. Its products are glyoxylic acid, reduced NADH, ammonia, and a proton.
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 .
This should not be confused with:
the glycine dehydrogenase, which is another name for the glycine cleavage system P-protein.
or the glycine dehydroganse .
or the glycine dehydrogenase .
