Tauropine dehydrogenase

In enzymology, a tauropine dehydrogenase (EC number|1.5.1.23) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

:tauropine + NAD⁺ + H₂O $ightleftharpoons$ taurine + pyruvate + NADH + H⁺

The 3 substrates of this enzyme are tauropine, NAD⁺, and H₂O, whereas its 4 products are taurine, pyruvate, NADH, and H⁺.

This enzyme belongs to the family of oxidoreductases, specifically those acting on the CH-NH group of donors with NAD+ or NADP+ as acceptor. The systematic name of this enzyme class is N2-(D-1-carboxyethyl)taurine:NAD+ oxidoreductase (taurine-forming). This enzyme is also called 2-N-(D-1-carboxyethyl)taurine:NAD+ oxidoreductase (taurine-forming).
