The saccharopine dehydrogenase activity of lysine-ketoglutarate reductase / saccharopine dehydrogenase homotetramer in the mitochondrial matrix catalyzes the reaction of lysine, alpha-ketoglutarate, and NADPH + H+ to form saccharopine, NADP+, and H2O (Markovitz et al. 1984; Sacksteder et al. 2001).
