ENZYME entry: EC 1.1.1.428

PURL: https://purl.expasy.org/enzyme/EC/1.1.1.428
Accepted Name
4-methylthio 2-oxobutanoate reductase (NADH)
Alternative Name(s)
4-methylthio 2-oxobutyrate reductase
4-methylthio 2-oxobutyric acid reductase
MTOB reductase
Reaction catalysed
(2R)-2-hydroxy-4-(methylsulfanyl)butanoate + NAD(+) = 4-methylsulfanyl-2-oxobutanoate + NADH + H(+)
Comment(s)
  • The substrate of this enzyme is formed as an intermediate during L-methionine salvage from S-methyl-5'-thioadenosine, which is formed during the biosynthesis of polyamines.
  • The human enzyme also functions as a transcriptional co-regulator that downregulates the expression of many tumor-suppressor genes, thus providing a link between gene repression and the methionine salvage pathway.
  • A similar, but NADP-specific, enzyme is involved in dimethylsulfoniopropanoate biosynthesis in algae and phytoplankton.
