Lysine 6-dehydrogenase (EC 1.4.1.18, L-lysine epsilon-dehydrogenase, L-lysine 6-dehydrogenase, LysDH) is an enzyme with systematic name L-lysine:NAD+ 6-oxidoreductase (deaminating). This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction
L-lysine + NAD+The enzyme is highly specific for L-lysine as substrate, although S-(2-aminoethyl)-L-cysteine can act as a substrate, but more slowly.
