- 2-aminohexanoate transaminase
In
enzymology , a 2-aminohexanoate transaminase (EC number|2.6.1.67) is anenzyme that catalyzes thechemical reaction :L-2-aminohexanoate + 2-oxoglutarate ightleftharpoons 2-oxohexanoate + L-glutamate
Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are
L-2-aminohexanoate and2-oxoglutarate , whereas its two products are2-oxohexanoate andL-glutamate .This enzyme belongs to the family of
transferase s, specifically thetransaminases , which transfer nitrogenous groups. The systematic name of this enzyme class is L-2-aminohexanoate:2-oxoglutarate aminotransferase. Other names in common use include norleucine transaminase, norleucine (leucine) aminotransferase, and leucine L-norleucine: 2-oxoglutarate aminotransferase. It employs one cofactor,pyridoxal phosphate .References
