ID 1.4.1.18 DE lysine 6-dehydrogenase. AN L-lysine 6-dehydrogenase. AN L-lysine epsilon-dehydrogenase. AN LysDH. CA L-lysine + NAD(+) = 2 H(+) + L-1-piperideine-6-carboxylate + NADH + CA NH4(+). CC -!- Highly specific for L-lysine as substrate, although (S)- CC (2-aminoethyl)-L-cysteine can act as a substrate, but more slowly. CC -!- While the enzyme from Agrobacterium tumefaciens can use only NAD(+), CC that from the thermophilic bacterium Geobacillus stearothermophilus CC can also use NADP(+), but more slowly.
