ASPD

Protein name

RecName: Full=Probable L-aspartate dehydrogenase; EC=1.4.1.21;

Gene name

nadX

FUNCTION: Specifically catalyzes the NAD or NADP-dependent dehydrogenation of L-aspartate to iminoaspartate (By similarity).

CATALYTIC ACTIVITY: L-aspartate + H(2)O + NAD(P)(+) = oxaloacetate + NH(3) + NAD(P)H.

PATHWAY: Cofactor biosynthesis; NAD(+) biosynthesis; iminoaspartate from L-aspartate (dehydrogenase route): step 1/1.

MISCELLANEOUS: The iminoaspartate product is unstable in aqueous solution and can decompose to oxaloacetate and ammonia (By similarity).

SIMILARITY: Belongs to the L-aspartate dehydrogenase family.
