ENTRY       EC 1.4.1.20
NAME        Phenylalanine dehydrogenase
CLASS       Oxidoreductases
            Acting on the CH-NH2 group of donors
            With NAD+ or NADP+ as acceptor
SYSNAME     L-Phenylalanine:NAD+ oxidoreductase (deaminating)
REACTION    L-Phenylalanine + H2O + NAD+ = Phenylpyruvate + NH3 + NADH
SUBSTRATE   L-Phenylalanine
            H2O
            NAD+
            L-Tyrosine
PRODUCT     Phenylpyruvate
            NH3
            NADH
COMMENT     The enzymes from Bacillus badius and Sporosarcina ureae are
            highly specific for L-phenylalanine; that from Bacillus
            sphaericus also acts on L-tyrosine.
PATHWAY     PATH: MAP00400  Phenylalanine, tyrosine and tryptophan biosynthesis
