| Accepted name: |
methylglutamate dehydrogenase |
| Reaction: |
N-methyl-L-glutamate + acceptor + H2O = L-glutamate + formaldehyde + reduced acceptor |
| Other name(s): |
N-methylglutamate dehydrogenase; N-methyl-L-glutamate:(acceptor) oxidoreductase (demethylating) |
| Systematic name: |
N-methyl-L-glutamate:acceptor oxidoreductase (demethylating) |
| Comments: |
A number of N-methyl-substituted amino acids can act as donor; 2,6-dichloroindophenol is the best acceptor. |
