EC | 1.2.1.73 | ||
Accepted name: | sulfoacetaldehyde dehydrogenase | ||
Reaction: | 2-sulfoacetaldehyde + H2O + NAD+ = sulfoacetate + NADH + 2 H+ | ||
Glossary: | 2-sulfoacetaldehyde = 2-oxoethanesulfonate taurine = 2-aminoethanesulfonate |
||
Other name(s): | SafD | ||
Systematic name: | 2-sulfoacetaldehyde:NAD+ oxidoreductase | ||
Comments: | This reaction is part of a bacterial pathway that can utilize the amino group of taurine as a sole source of nitrogen for growth. At physiological concentrations, NAD+ cannot be replaced by NADP+. The enzyme is specific for sulfoacetaldehyde, as formaldehyde, acetaldehyde, betaine aldehyde, propanal, glyceraldehyde, phosphonoacetaldehyde, glyoxylate, glycolaldehyde and 2-oxobutyrate are not substrates. | ||
