BRITE hierarchy
Sysname
2,4-diaminopentanoate:NAD(P)+ oxidoreductase (deaminating)
Reaction(IUBMB)
2,4-diaminopentanoate + H2O + NAD(P)+ = 2-amino-4-oxopentanoate + NH3 + NAD(P)H + H+ [RN:R04200 R04201]
Reaction(KEGG)
Substrate
2,4-diaminopentanoate [CPD:C03943];
H2O [CPD:C00001];
NAD+ [CPD:C00003];
NADP+ [CPD:C00006]
Product
2-amino-4-oxopentanoate [CPD:C03341];
NH3 [CPD:C00014];
NADH [CPD:C00004];
NADPH [CPD:C00005];
H+ [CPD:C00080]
Comment
Also acts, more slowly, on 2,5-diaminohexanoate forming 2-amino-5-oxohexanoate, which then cyclizes non-enzymically to 1-pyrroline-2-methyl-5-carboxylate.
Pathway
