In enzymology, glutarate-semialdehyde dehydrogenase (EC 1.2.1.20) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

5-oxopentanoic acid
+ NAD+
 
 
H2O
H+
H2O
H+
 
 

The three substrates of this enzyme are 5-oxopentanoic acid (glutarate semialdehyde), oxidised nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+), and water. Its products are glutaric acid, reduced NADH, and a proton.[1][2]

This enzyme belongs to the family of oxidoreductases, specifically those acting on the aldehyde or oxo group of donor with NAD+ or NADP+ as acceptor. The systematic name of this enzyme class is glutarate-semialdehyde:NAD+ oxidoreductase. This enzyme is also called glutarate semialdehyde dehydrogenase. This enzyme participates in lysine degradation.
