Oxidative deamination is a form of deamination that generates α-keto acids and other oxidized products from amine-containing compounds, and occurs primarily in the liver. [1] Oxidative deamination is stereospecific, meaning it contains different stereoisomers as reactants and products; this process is either catalyzed by L or D- amino acid ...
In enzymology, a L-glutamate oxidase (EC 1.4.3.11) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction L-glutamate + O 2 + H 2 O ⇌ {\displaystyle \rightleftharpoons } 2-oxoglutarate + NH 3 + H 2 O 2 The 3 substrates of this enzyme are L-glutamate , O 2 , and H 2 O , whereas its 3 products are 2-oxoglutarate , NH 3 , and H 2 O 2 .
In the brain, the NAD+/NADH ratio in brain mitochondria encourages oxidative deamination (i.e. glutamate to α-ketoglutarate and ammonia). [1] In bacteria, the ammonia is assimilated to amino acids via glutamate and aminotransferases. [2] In plants, the enzyme can work in either direction depending on environment and stress.
Deamination is the removal of an amino group from a molecule. [1] Enzymes that catalyse this reaction are called deaminases. In the human body, deamination takes place primarily in the liver; however, it can also occur in the kidney. In situations of excess protein intake, deamination is used to break down amino acids for energy.
GLUD1 catalyses the oxidative deamination of Glu to 2-oxoglutarate and free NH 4 + using either NAD + or NADP + as a co-factor. The reaction occurs with the transfer of a hydride ion from Glu's Cα to NAD(P) +, thereby forming 2-iminoglutarate, which is hydrolyzed to 2-oxoglutarate and NH 4 +.
Oxidative deamination is the first step to breaking down the amino acids so that they can be converted to sugars. The process begins by removing the amino group of the amino acids. The amino group becomes ammonium as it is lost and later undergoes the urea cycle to become urea, in the liver. It is then released into the blood stream, where it ...

This dehydrogenase is one of the family of glutamate ...
Transamination is a chemical reaction that transfers an amino group to a ketoacid to form new amino acids.This pathway is responsible for the deamination of most amino acids. This is one of the major degradation pathways which convert essential amino acids to non-essential amino acids (amino acids that can be synthesized de novo by the organism).
