ID   1.4.1.12
DE   2,4-diaminopentanoate dehydrogenase.
CA   (1) (2R,4S)-2,4-diaminopentanoate + NADP(+) + H2O = (2R)-2-amino-4-
CA   oxopentanoate + NH4(+) + NADPH + H(+).
CA   (2) (2R,4S)-2,4-diaminopentanoate + NAD(+) + H2O = (2R)-2-amino-4-
CA   oxopentanoate + NH4(+) + NADH + H(+).
CC   -!- Also acts, more slowly, on 2,5-diaminohexanoate forming 2-amino-5-
CC       oxohexanoate, which then cyclizes non-enzymically to 1-pyrroline-2-
CC       methyl-5-carboxylate.
CC   -!- It has equal activity with NAD(+) and NADP(+) (cf. EC 1.4.1.26).
