Maleylacetic acid is a chemical compound produced in the biodegradation of
catechin by ''
Bradyrhizobium japonicum''.
The enzyme
maleylacetate reductase
In enzymology, a maleylacetate reductase () is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction
:3-oxoadipate + NAD(P)+ \rightleftharpoons 2-maleylacetate + NAD(P)H + H+
The 3 substrates of this enzyme are 3-oxoadipate, NAD+, and NADP+, where ...
uses
3-oxoadipate,
NAD+, and
NADP+ to produce 2-maleylacetate,
NADH,
NADPH
Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate, abbreviated NADP or, in older notation, TPN (triphosphopyridine nucleotide), is a cofactor used in anabolic reactions, such as the Calvin cycle and lipid and nucleic acid syntheses, which require NAD ...
, and
H+.
