Arogenate dehydrogenase
Class of enzymes
In enzymology, an arogenate dehydrogenase (EC 1.3.1.43) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction
- L-arogenate + NAD+ L-tyrosine + NADH + CO2
Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are L-arogenate and NAD+, whereas its 3 products are L-tyrosine, NADH, and CO2.
This enzyme belongs to the family of oxidoreductases, specifically those acting on the CH-CH group of donor with NAD+ or NADP+ as acceptor. The systematic name of this enzyme class is L-arogenate:NAD+ oxidoreductase (decarboxylating). Other names in common use include arogenic dehydrogenase (ambiguous), cyclohexadienyl dehydrogenase, pretyrosine dehydrogenase (ambiguous), and L-arogenate:NAD+ oxidoreductase. This enzyme participates in phenylalanine, tyrosine and tryptophan biosynthesis and novobiocin biosynthesis.
