In enzymology, a strombine dehydrogenase (EC 1.5.1.22) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

N-(carboxymethyl)-D-alanine + NAD+ + H2O [math]\displaystyle{ \rightleftharpoons }[/math] glycine + pyruvate + NADH + H+

The 3 substrates of this enzyme are N-(carboxymethyl)-D-alanine, NAD+, and H2O, whereas its 4 products are glycine, pyruvate, NADH, and H+.

This enzyme belongs to the family of oxidoreductases, specifically those acting on the CH-NH group of donor with NAD+ or NADP+ as acceptor. The systematic name of this enzyme class is N-(carboxymethyl)-D-alanine:NAD+ oxidoreductase (glycine-forming). Other names in common use include strombine[N-(carboxymethyl)-D-alanine]dehydrogenase, and N-(carboxymethyl)-D-alanine: NAD+ oxidoreductase.
