- Ephedrine dehydrogenase
In
enzymology , an ephedrine dehydrogenase (EC number|1.5.1.18) is anenzyme that catalyzes thechemical reaction :(-)-ephedrine + NAD+ (R)-2-methylimino-1-phenylpropan-1-ol + NADH + H+
Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are
(-)-ephedrine and NAD+, whereas its 3 products are(R)-2-methylimino-1-phenylpropan-1-ol , NADH, and H+.This enzyme belongs to the family of
oxidoreductase s, specifically those acting on the CH-NH group of donor with NAD+ or NADP+ as acceptor. The systematic name of this enzyme class is (-)-ephedrine:NAD+ 2-oxidoreductase.References
