EC 1.5.1.19

Accepted name: D-nopaline dehydrogenase

Reaction: N2-(D-1,3-dicarboxypropyl)-L-arginine + NADP+ + H2O = L-arginine + 2-oxoglutarate + NADPH + H+

Other name(s): D-nopaline synthase; nopaline dehydrogenase; nopaline synthase; NOS

Systematic name: N2-(D-1,3-dicarboxypropyl)-L-arginine:NADP+ oxidoreductase (L-arginine-forming)

Comments: In the reverse direction, forms D-nopaline from L-arginine and D-ornaline from L-ornithine.
