 |
| Sysname |
N-methyl-L-glutamate:acceptor oxidoreductase (demethylating) |
| Reaction(IUBMB) |
N-methyl-L-glutamate + acceptor + H2O = L-glutamate + formaldehyde +
reduced acceptor [RN:R00609] |
| Reaction(KEGG) |
R00609
 |
| Substrate |
N-methyl-L-glutamate [CPD:C01046];
acceptor [CPD:C00028];
H2O [CPD:C00001] |
| Product |
L-glutamate [CPD:C00025];
formaldehyde [CPD:C00067];
reduced acceptor [CPD:C00030] |
| Comment |
A number of N-methyl-substituted amino acids can act as donor;
2,6-dichloroindophenol is the best acceptor. |
