Alanopine dehydrogenase (EC 1.5.1.17) is an enzyme in the oxidoreductase family. It uses two substrates, alanopine (2,2'-iminodipropanoate) and NAD+, and does not involve water in the reaction. The reaction products are L-alanine, pyruvate, NADH, and a proton (H+). Systematic name: 2,2'-iminodipropanoate:NAD+ oxidoreductase (L-alanine-forming). Common names include ALPDH and alanopine:NAD+ oxidoreductase.
