IUBMB Enzyme Nomenclature

EC 1.2.1.81

Accepted name: sulfoacetaldehyde dehydrogenase (acylating)

Reaction: 2-sulfoacetaldehyde + CoA + NADP+ = sulfoacetyl-CoA + NADPH + H+

Glossary: 2-sulfoacetaldehyde = 2-oxoethanesulfonate

Other name(s): SauS

Systematic name: 2-sulfoacetaldehyde:NADP+ oxidoreductase (CoA-acetylating)

Comments: The enzyme is involved in degradation of sulfoacetate. In this pathway the reaction is catalysed in the reverse direction. The enzyme is specific for sulfoacetaldehyde and NADP+.
