Lysine dehydrogenase

In enzymology, lysine dehydrogenase is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction
The two substrates of this enzyme are L-lysine and oxidised nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide. Its products are 1-piperideine-2-carboxylic acid, ammonia, reduced NADH, 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 L-lysine:NAD+ oxidoreductase .
