Glutamate dehydrogenase (NADP+)

Glutamate dehydrogenase (NADP+) (, glutamic dehydrogenase, dehydrogenase, glutamate (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (phosphate)), glutamic acid dehydrogenase, L-glutamate dehydrogenase, L-glutamic acid dehydrogenase, NAD(P)+-glutamate dehydrogenase, NAD(P)H-dependent glutamate dehydrogenase, glutamate dehydrogenase (NADP+)) is an enzyme with systematic name L-glutamate:NADP+ oxidoreductase (deaminating). This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction


 * L-glutamate + H2O + NADP+ $$\rightleftharpoons$$ 2-oxoglutarate + NH3 + NADPH + H+
