Aminomuconate-semialdehyde dehydrogenase

In enzymology, aminomuconate-semialdehyde dehydrogenase () is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

The three substrates of this enzyme are 2-aminomuconic semialdehyde, oxidised nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD<sup>+</sup>), and water. Its products are 2-aminomuconic acid, reduced NADH, and a proton.

This enzyme belongs to the family of oxidoreductases, specifically those acting on the aldehyde or oxo group of donor with NAD+ or NADP+ as acceptor. This enzyme participates in 3 metabolic pathways: benzoic acid degradation via hydroxylation, tryptophan metabolism, and the degradation pathway for toluene and xylene.

Nomenclature

The systematic name of this enzyme class is 2-aminomuconate-6-semialdehyde:NAD+ 6-oxidoreductase. Other names in common use include 2-aminomuconate semialdehyde dehydrogenase, 2-hydroxymuconic acid semialdehyde dehydrogenase, 2-hydroxymuconate semialdehyde dehydrogenase, alpha-aminomuconic epsilon-semialdehyde dehydrogenase, alpha-hydroxymuconic epsilon-semialdehyde dehydrogenase, and 2-hydroxymuconic semialdehyde dehydrogenase.
