IUBMB Enzyme Nomenclature

EC 1.1.1.3

Accepted name: homoserine dehydrogenase

Reaction: L-homoserine + NAD(P)+ = L-aspartate 4-semialdehyde + NAD(P)H + H+

Other name(s): HSDH; HSD

Systematic name: L-homoserine:NAD(P)+ oxidoreductase

Comments: The yeast enzyme acts most rapidly with NAD+; the Neurospora enzyme with NADP+. The enzyme from Escherichia coli is a multi-functional protein, which also catalyses the reaction of EC 2.7.2.4 (aspartate kinase).
