L-Leucine Dehydrogenase from Bacillus cereus has been used to determine the branched-chain amino acids (BCAA) spectrophotometrically in serum samples.
General Description
L-Leucine Dehydrogenase is a member of the amino acid dehydrogenase family.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Leucine Dehydrogenase is a nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide hydrogen (NADH)-dependent oxidoreductase. It is involved in catalyzing the reductive amination of aliphatic 2-oxo-acids to their respective L-amino acids.
