Glutamyl-tRNA reductase
A glutamyl-tRNA reductase is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction
The 3 substrates of this enzyme are L-glutamate 1-semialdehyde, NADP+, and tRNA, whereas its 3 products are L-glutamyl-tRNA, NADPH, and H+.
This enzyme belongs to the family of oxidoreductases, to be specific, those acting on the aldehyde or oxo group of donor with NAD+ or NADP+ as acceptor. The systematic name of this enzyme class is L-glutamate-semialdehyde: NADP+ oxidoreductase . This enzyme participates in porphyrin and chlorophyll metabolism.
