Updated annotation (from data): L-2-aminoadipate semialdehyde dehydrogenase (EC 1.2.1.31) Rationale: Specifically important for L-lysine utilization. This reaction is part of lysine catabolism via lysine 6-dehydrogenase (SMc02503), which forms (S)-2,3,4,5-tetrahydropyridine-2-carboxylate, which spontaenously interconverts with L-2-aminoadipate semialdehyde (also known as (S)-2-amino-6-oxohexanoate) in water. Original annotation: aldehyde dehydrogenase transmembrane protein Type 1: Protein-coding gene Located on scaffold NC_003047, + strand, nucleotides 3,586,114 to 3,587,646 See nucleotide sequence around SMc04385 or for all of scaffold NC_003047
