Descriptor English: Alanine Dehydrogenase
Descriptor Spanish: Alanina-Deshidrogenasa
Descriptor alanina deshidrogenasa
Scope note: Enzima dependiente de NAD que cataliza la DESAMINACIÓN reversible de la L-ALANINA a PIRUVATO y AMONÍACO. La enzima es necesaria para el crecimiento cuando la ALANINA es la única fuente de CARBONO o NITRÓGENO. También puede intervenir en la síntesis de la PARED CELULAR ya que la L-ALANINA es un importante componente de la capa de PÉPTIDOGLICANO.

L-Alanine Dehydrogenase
Tree number(s): D08.811.682.664.500.062
RDF Unique Identifier: https://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D050788
Scope note: An NAD-dependent enzyme that catalyzes the reversible DEAMINATION of L-ALANINE to PYRUVATE and AMMONIA. The enzyme is needed for growth when ALANINE is the sole CARBON or NITROGEN source. It may also play a role in CELL WALL synthesis because L-ALANINE is an important constituent of the PEPTIDOGLYCAN layer.
