Enzyme Information

1.4.1.21
Aspartate dehydrogenase.
based on mapping to UniProt Q9X1X6
L-aspartate + H(2)O + NAD(P)(+) = oxaloacetate + NH(3) + NAD(P)H.
-!- Catalyzes the first step in NAD biosynthesis from aspartate. -!- Strictly specific for L-aspartate as substrate. -!- Has a higher affinity for NAD(+) than NADP(+).
