MeSH definition : An NAD-dependent enzyme that catalyzes the reversible DEAMINATION of L-ALANINE to
PYRUVATE and AMMONIA. The enzyme is needed for growth when ALANINE is the sole CARBON
or NITROGEN source. It may also play a role in CELL WALL synthesis because L-ALANINE
is an important constituent of the PEPTIDOGLYCAN layer.;
