Aspartate dehydrogenase (EC 1.4.1.21) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

+ NAD+
 
 
H2O
H+
H2O
H+
 
+ NADP + NH3
 

The three substrates of this enzyme are L-aspartic acid, water, and oxidised nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+}. Its products are oxaloacetic acid, ammonia, reduced NADH, and a proton. Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate can be used as an alternative cofactor.[1][2][3]

This enzyme belongs to the family of oxidoreductases, specifically those acting on the CH-NH2 group of donors with NAD+ or NADP+ as acceptor. The systematic name of this enzyme class is L-aspartate:NAD(P)+ oxidoreductase (deaminating). Other names in common use include NAD-dependent aspartate dehydrogenase, NADH2-dependent aspartate dehydrogenase, and NADP+-dependent aspartate dehydrogenase. This enzyme participates in nicotinate and nicotinamide metabolism.[4]

Structural studies

As of late 2007, only one structure has been solved for this class of enzymes, with the PDB accession code 2DC1.
