| Official Name |
|---|
| Lysine 6-dehydrogenase.
|
| Alternative Name(s) |
|---|
| L-lysine 6-dehydrogenase. |
| L-lysine epsilon-dehydrogenase. |
| LysDH. |
| Reaction catalysed |
|---|
| L-lysine + NAD(+) <=> (S)-2,3,4,5-tetrahydropiperidine-2-carboxylate + NADH + NH(3) |
| Comment(s) |
|---|
- Highly specific for L-lysine as substrate, although (S)-(beta-
aminoethyl)-L-cysteine can act as a substrate, but more slowly.
- While the enzyme from Agrobacterium tumefaciens can use only NAD(+),
that from the thermophilic bacterium Geobacillus stearothermophilus
can also use NADP(+), but more slowly.
