ID   1.2.1.73
DE   Sulfoacetaldehyde dehydrogenase.
CA   2-sulfoacetaldehyde + H(2)O + NAD(+) = sulfoacetate + NADH.
CC   -!- Part of a bacterial pathway that can utilize the amino group of
CC       taurine as a sole source of nitrogen for growth.
CC   -!- At physiological concentrations, NAD(+) cannot be replaced by
CC       NADP(+).
CC   -!- Specific for sulfoacetaldehyde, as formaldehyde, acetaldehyde,
CC       betaine aldehyde, propanal, glyceraldehyde, phosphonoaldehyde,
CC       glyoxylate, glycolaldehyde and 2-oxobutyrate are not substrates.
