EC 1.2.1.19 Details
EC number
1.2.1.19
Accepted name
aminobutyraldehyde dehydrogenase
Reaction
4-aminobutanal + NAD+ + H2O = 4-aminobutanoate + NADH + 2 H+
Other name(s)
γ-guanidinobutyraldehyde dehydrogenase (ambiguous), ABAL dehydrogenase, 4-aminobutyraldehyde dehydrogenase, 4-aminobutanal dehydrogenase, γ-aminobutyraldehyde dehydroganase, 1-pyrroline dehydrogenase, ABALDH, YdcW
Systematic name
4-aminobutanal:NAD+ 1-oxidoreductase
CAS registry number
9028-98-2
Comment
The enzyme from some species exhibits broad substrate specificity and has a marked preference for straight-chain aldehydes (up to 7 carbon atoms) as substrates [9]. The plant enzyme also acts on 4-guanidinobutanal (cf. EC 1.2.1.54 γ-guanidinobutyraldehyde dehydrogenase). As 1-pyrroline and 4-aminobutanal are in equilibrium and can be interconverted spontaneously, 1-pyrroline may act as the starting substrate. The enzyme forms part of the arginine-catabolism pathway [8] and belongs in the aldehyde dehydrogenase superfamily [9].
