1.5.1.24 |
| Accepted name: |
N5-(carboxyethyl)ornithine synthase |
| Reaction: |
N5-(L-1-carboxyethyl)-L-ornithine + NADP+ + H2O = L-ornithine + pyruvate + NADPH + H+ |
| Other name(s): |
5-N-(L-1-carboxyethyl)-L-ornithine:NADP+ oxidoreductase (L-ornithine-forming) |
| Systematic name: |
N5-(L-1-carboxyethyl)-L-ornithine:NADP+ oxidoreductase (L-ornithine-forming) |
| Comments: |
In the reverse direction, L-lysine can act instead of L-ornithine, but more slowly. Acts on the amino group. cf. EC 1.5.1.16, D-lysopine dehydrogenase. |
