Protein
Alpha-ketoglutaric semialdehyde dehydrogenase
Organism
Bacillus subtilis (strain 168)
Function
Catalyzes the NAD(P)(+)-dependent oxidation of alpha-ketoglutaric semialdehyde (alphaKGSA) to alpha-ketoglutarate. Prefers NADP(+) to NAD(+) as a cosubstrate. In vitro, can also use various aldehydes.
Similarity
Belongs to the aldehyde dehydrogenase family.
