In enzymology, a 4-trimethylammoniobutyraldehyde dehydrogenase (EC 1.2.1.47) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction The 3 substrates of this enzyme are 4-trimethylammoniobutanal, NAD+, and H2O, whereas its 3 products are 4-trimethylammoniobutanoate, NADH, and H+.
This enzyme belongs to the family of oxidoreductases, specifically those acting on the aldehyde or oxo group of donor with NAD+ or NADP+ as acceptor.
The systematic name of this enzyme class is 4-trimethylammoniobutanal:NAD+ 1-oxidoreductase.
This enzyme participates in lysine degradation and carnitine biosynthesis.
