CATH Clusters

Superfamily Type I PLP-dependent aspartate aminotransferase-like (Major domain)
Functional Family Aromatic amino acid aminotransferase

Enzyme Information

2.6.1.57
Aromatic-amino-acid transaminase.
based on mapping to UniProt P53090
An aromatic amino acid + 2-oxoglutarate = an aromatic oxo acid + L-glutamate.
-!- L-methionine can also act as donor, more slowly. -!- Oxaloacetate can act as acceptor. -!- Controlled proteolysis converts the enzyme to EC 2.6.1.1.
2.6.1.39
2-aminoadipate transaminase.
based on mapping to UniProt P53090
L-2-aminoadipate + 2-oxoglutarate = 2-oxoadipate + L-glutamate.
