In enzymology a N5-(carboxyethyl)ornithine synthase (EC 1.5.1.24) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reactionN5-(L-1-carboxyethyl)-L-ornithine + NADP+ + H2O L-ornithine + pyruvate + NADPH + H+The 3 substrates of this enzyme are N5-(L-1-carboxyethyl)-L-ornithine NADP+ and H2O whereas its 4 products are L-ornithine pyruvate NADPH and H+.This enzyme belongs to the family of oxidoreductases specifically those acting on the CH-NH group of donors with NAD+ or NADP+ as acceptor.
