MeSH Heading: Alanine Dehydrogenase
Tree Number(s): D08.811.682.664.500.062
Unique ID: D050788
RDF Unique Identifier: http://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.
Entry Term(s): L-Alanine Dehydrogenase
