Glycine dehydrogenase

In enzymology, a glycine dehydrogenase (EC number|1.4.1.10) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

:glycine + H₂O + NAD⁺ $ightleftharpoons$ glyoxylate + NH₃ + NADH + H⁺

The 3 substrates of this enzyme are glycine, H₂O, and NAD⁺, whereas its 4 products are glyoxylate, NH₃, NADH, and H⁺.

This enzyme belongs to the family of oxidoreductases, specifically those acting on the CH-NH2 group of donors with NAD+ or NADP+ as acceptor. The systematic name of this enzyme class is glycine:NAD+ oxidoreductase (deaminating).
