show Brenda entryEC number
1.2.1.71
Accepted name
succinylglutamate-semialdehyde dehydrogenase
Reaction
N-succinyl-L-glutamate 5-semialdehyde + NAD+ + H2O = N-succinyl-L-glutamate + NADH + 2 H+
Other name(s)
succinylglutamic semialdehyde dehydrogenase,
N-succinylglutamate 5-semialdehyde dehydrogenase,
SGSD,
AruD,
AstD
Systematic name
N-succinyl-L-glutamate 5-semialdehyde:NAD+ oxidoreductase
Comment
This is the fourth enzyme in the arginine succinyltransferase (AST) pathway for the catabolism of arginine [1]. This pathway converts the carbon skeleton of arginine into glutamate, with the concomitant production of ammonia and conversion of succinyl-CoA into succinate and CoA. The five enzymes involved in this pathway are EC 2.3.1.109 (arginine N-succinyltransferase), EC 3.5.3.23 (N-succinylarginine dihydrolase), EC 2.6.1.11 (acetylornithine transaminase), EC 1.2.1.71 (succinylglutamate-semialdehyde dehydrogenase) and EC 3.5.1.96 (succinylglutamate desuccinylase) [3,6].
