- Diaminobutyrate-pyruvate transaminase
In
enzymology , a diaminobutyrate-pyruvate transaminase (EC number|2.6.1.46) is anenzyme that catalyzes thechemical reaction :L-2,4-diaminobutanoate + pyruvate L-aspartate 4-semialdehyde + L-alanine
Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are
L-2,4-diaminobutanoate andpyruvate , whereas its two products areL-aspartate 4-semialdehyde andL-alanine .This enzyme belongs to the family of
transferase s, specifically thetransaminases , which transfer nitrogenous groups. The systematic name of this enzyme class is L-2,4-diaminobutanoate:pyruvate aminotransferase. Other names in common use include diaminobutyrate-pyruvate aminotransferase, and L-diaminobutyric acid transaminase. It employs one cofactor,pyridoxal phosphate .References
