In enzymology, saccharopine dehydrogenase (NAD+, L-glutamate-forming) () is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction
The three substrates of this enzyme are saccharopine, oxidised nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD<sup>+</sup>), and water. Its products are L-glutamic acid, L-allysine, reduced NADH, and a proton.
This enzyme belongs to the family of oxidoreductases, specifically those acting on the CH-NH group of donors with NAD+ or NADP+ as acceptor. The systematic name of this enzyme class is N6-(L-1,3-dicarboxypropyl)-L-lysine:NAD+ oxidoreductase (L-glutamate-forming). Other names in common use include dehydrogenase, saccharopine (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide,, glutamate-forming), saccharopin dehydrogenase, NAD+ oxidoreductase (L-2-aminoadipic-delta-semialdehyde and, glutamate forming), aminoadipic semialdehyde synthase, saccharopine dehydrogenase (NAD+, L-glutamate-forming), 6-N-(L-1,3-dicarboxypropyl)-L-lysine:NAD+ oxidoreductase, and (L-glutamate-forming). This enzyme participates in lysine degradation.
