In enzymology, malonate-semialdehyde dehydrogenase (EC 1.2.1.15) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

+ NADH
 

The three substrates of this enzyme are 3-oxopropanoic acid, reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+), and water. Its products are malonic acid, reduced NADH, and a proton. This enzyme can use the alternative cofactor, nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate. [1] [2]

This enzyme belongs to the family of oxidoreductases, specifically those acting on the aldehyde or oxo group of donor with NAD+ or NADP+ as acceptor. The systematic name of this enzyme class is 3-oxopropanoate:NAD(P)+ oxidoreductase. This enzyme participates in beta-alanine metabolism.
