Phosphonoacetaldehyde_reductase_(NADH)
Phosphonoacetaldehyde reductase (NADH) (EC 1.1.1.309, PhpC) is an enzyme with systematic name 2-hydroxyethylphosphonate:NAD+ oxidoreductase.[1] This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction
- 2-hydroxyethylphosphonate + NAD+ phosphonoacetaldehyde + NADH + H+
The enzyme from Streptomyces viridochromogenes catalyses a step in the biosynthesis of phosphinothricin tripeptide, the reduction of phosphonoacetaldehyde to 2-hydroxyethylphosphonate.
