- Pyridoxamine-pyruvate transaminase
In
enzymology , a pyridoxamine-pyruvate transaminase (EC number|2.6.1.30) is anenzyme that catalyzes thechemical reaction :pyridoxamine + pyruvate ightleftharpoons pyridoxal + L-alanine
Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are
pyridoxamine andpyruvate , whereas its two products arepyridoxal 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 pyridoxamine:pyruvate aminotransferase. This enzyme is also called pyridoxamine-pyruvic transaminase. This enzyme participates invitamin b6 metabolism .References
