ENTRY       EC 1.5.1.17
NAME        Alanopine dehydrogenase
CLASS       Oxidoreductases
            Acting on the CH-NH group of donors
            With NAD+ or NADP+ as acceptor
SYSNAME     2,2'-Iminodipropanoate:NAD+ oxidoreductase (L-alanine-forming)
REACTION    2,2'-Iminodipropanoate + NAD+ + H2O = L-Alanine + Pyruvate + NADH
SUBSTRATE   2,2'-Iminodipropanoate
            NAD+
            H2O
PRODUCT     L-Alanine
            Pyruvate
            NADH
            L-Cysteine
            L-Serine
            L-Threonine
COMMENT     In the reverse reaction, L-alanine can be respeced by L-cysteine,
            L-serine or L-threonine; glycine acts very slowly
            (cf. EC 1.5.1.22).
