N5-(carboxyethyl)ornithine_synthase
N5-(carboxyethyl)ornithine synthase
Class of enzymes
In enzymology, a N5-(carboxyethyl)ornithine synthase (EC 1.5.1.24) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction
- N5-(L-1-carboxyethyl)-L-ornithine + NADP+ + H2O L-ornithine + pyruvate + NADPH + H+
The 3 substrates of this enzyme are N5-(L-1-carboxyethyl)-L-ornithine, NADP+, and H2O, whereas its 4 products are L-ornithine, pyruvate, NADPH, and H+.
