Arogenate dehydrogenase (NAD(P)+)

In enzymology, arogenate dehydrogenase [NAD(P)+] () is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

The two substrates of this enzyme are L-arogenic acid (shown as its conjugate base arogenate) and oxidised nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD<sup>+</sup>). Its products are L-tyrosine, reduced NADH, and carbon dioxide. Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate can be used as an alternative cofactor.

This enzyme belongs to the family of oxidoreductases, specifically those acting on the CH-CH group of donor with NAD+ or NADP+ as acceptor. The systematic name of this enzyme class is L-arogenate:NAD(P)+ oxidoreductase (decarboxylating). Other names in common use include arogenic dehydrogenase (ambiguous), cyclohexadienyl dehydrogenase, and pretyrosine dehydrogenase (ambiguous).
