L-Phenylalanine dehydrogenase is a NAD+-dependent oxidoreductase that catalyzes the reversible, oxidative deamination of L-phenylalanine which results in its degradation. L-Phenylalanine dehydrogenase is used to study phenylalanine metabolism and phenylalanine, tyrosine and tryptophan biosynthesis.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Phenylalanine dehydrogenase (PheDH) is considered as an effective enzyme to estimate the quantity of phenylalanine to distinguish phenylketonuria (PKU) disease.
