2-acetamido-5-oxopentanoic acid
 

The three substrates of this enzyme are N-acetyl-L-γ-glutamyl phosphate, reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH), and a proton. Its products are 2-acetamido-5-oxopentanoic acid, oxidised NADP+, and inorganic phosphate (Pi).[1][2][3]

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 N-acetyl-L-glutamate-5-semialdehyde:NADP+ 5-oxidoreductase (phosphorylating). Other names in common use include reductase, acetyl-gamma-glutamyl phosphate, N-acetylglutamate 5-semialdehyde dehydrogenase, N-acetylglutamic gamma-semialdehyde dehydrogenase, N-acetyl-L-glutamate gamma-semialdehyde:NADP+ oxidoreductase, and (phosphorylating). This enzyme participates in urea cycle and metabolism of amino groups.

Structural studies

As of late 2007, 8 structures have been solved for this class of enzymes, with PDB accession codes 1VKN, 2CVO, 2G17, 2I3A, 2I3G, 2NQT, 2OZP, and 2Q49.
