Sulfoacetaldehyde dehydrogenase

Sulfoacetaldehyde dehydrogenase (, SafD) is an enzyme with systematic name 2-sulfoacetaldehyde:NAD+ oxidoreductase. This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction


 * 2-sulfoacetaldehyde + H2O + NAD+ $$\rightleftharpoons$$ sulfoacetate + NADH + 2 H+

This reaction is part of a bacterial pathway that can make use the amino group of taurine as a sole source of nitrogen for growth.
