The saccharopine dehydrogenase activity of lysine-ketoglutarate reductase / saccharopine dehydrogenase homotetramer in the mitochondrial matrix catalyzes the reaction of saccharopine (N6-(L-1,3-Dicarboxypropyl)-L-lysine), H2O, and NAD+ to form 'L-2-Aminoadipate 6-semialdehyde, glutamate, and NADH + H+ (Markovitz et al. 1984; Sacksteder et al. 2001).
