| Accepted name: |
3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine reductive deaminase |
| Reaction: |
L-dopa + NADH = 3,4-dihydroxyphenylpropanoate + NAD+ + NH3 |
| Glossary: |
L-dopa = 3,4-dihydroxy-L-phenylalanine |
| Other name(s): |
reductive deaminase; DOPA-reductive deaminase; DOPARDA |
| Systematic name: |
3,4-dihydroxy-L-phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (3,4-dihydroxyphenylpropanoate-forming) |
| Comments: |
Forms part of the L-phenylalanine-catabolism pathway in the anoxygenic phototrophic bacterium Rhodobacter sphaeroides OU5. NADPH is oxidized more slowly than NADH. |
