Reaction: N-(carboxymethyl)-D-alanine + NAD+ + H2O = glycine + pyruvate + NADH + H+
Other name(s): strombine[N-(carboxymethyl)-D-alanine]dehydrogenase; N-(carboxymethyl)-D-alanine: NAD+ oxidoreductase
Systematic name: N-(carboxymethyl)-D-alanine:NAD+ oxidoreductase (glycine-forming)
Comments: Also catalyses the reaction of EC 1.5.1.17 alanopine dehydrogenase, but more slowly. Does not act on L-strombine.
