In enzymology a 24-diaminopentanoate dehydrogenase (EC 1.4.1.12) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction24-diaminopentanoate + H2O + NAD(P)+ 2-amino-4-oxopentanoate + NH3 + NAD(P)H + H+The 4 substrates of this enzyme are 24-diaminopentanoate H2O NAD+ and NADP+ whereas its 5 products are 2-amino-4-oxopentanoate NH3 NADH NADPH and H+.This enzyme belongs to the family of oxidoreductases specifically those acting on the CH-NH2 group of donors with NAD+ or NADP+ as acceptor.
