Alanine dehydrogenase (EC 1.4.1.1) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

L-alanine + H2O + NAD+ pyruvate + NH3 + NADH + H+

The 3 substrates of this enzyme are L-alanine, water, and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide+, whereas its 4 products are pyruvate, ammonia, NADH, and hydrogen ion.

his enzyme participates in taurine and hypotaurine metabolism and reductive carboxylate cycle (CO2 fixation).

Nomenclature

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-alanine:NAD+ oxidoreductase (deaminating). Other names in common use include AlaDH, L-alanine dehydrogenase, NAD+-linked alanine dehydrogenase, alpha-alanine dehydrogenase, NAD+-dependent alanine dehydrogenase, alanine oxidoreductase, and NADH-dependent alanine dehydrogenase.

Structure

Alanine dehydrogenase contains both a N-terminus[1] and C-terminus domains.[2][3]
