N-methylalanine dehydrogenase


In enzymology, N-methylalanine dehydrogenase is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction
The three substrates of this enzyme are N-methyl-L-alanine, water, and oxidised nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate. Its products are pyruvic acid, methylamine, reduced NADPH, 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 N-methyl-L-alanine:NADP+ oxidoreductase .
