Ett oktameriskt enzym i superfamiljen aminosyradehydrogenaser. Leucindehydrogenas katalyserar den reversibla, oxidativa deamineringen av L-leucin till 4-metyl-2-oxopentanoat (2-ketoisokaproat) och ammoniak, med motsvarande reduktion av kofaktorn NAD+. EC 1.4.1.9.
An octameric enzyme belonging to the superfamily of amino acid dehydrogenases. Leucine dehydrogenase catalyzes the reversible oxidative deamination of L-LEUCINE, to 4-methyl-2-oxopentanoate (2-ketoisocaproate) and AMMONIA, with the corresponding reduction of the cofactor NAD+.
