Enzyme Information

1.1.1.375
L-2-hydroxycarboxylate dehydrogenase (NAD(P)(+)).
based on mapping to UniProt Q60176
A (2S)-2-hydroxycarboxylate + NAD(P)(+) = a 2-oxocarboxylate + NAD(P)H.
-!- The enzyme from the archaeon Methanocaldococcus jannaschii catalyzes the reversible oxidation of (2R)-3-sulfolactate and (S)-malate to 3-sulfopyruvate and oxaloacetate, respectively (note that (2R)-3- sulfolactate has the same stereochemical configuration as (2S)-2- hydroxycarboxylates). -!- The enzyme can use both NADH and NADPH, although activity is higher with NADPH. -!- The oxidation of (2R)-3-sulfolactate was observed only in the presence of NADP(+). -!- The same organism also possesses an NAD(+)-specific enzyme with similar activity, cf. EC 1.1.1.337.
