- UDP-2-acetamido-4-amino-2,4,6-trideoxyglucose transaminase
In
enzymology , an UDP-2-acetamido-4-amino-2,4,6-trideoxyglucose transaminase (EC number|2.6.1.34) is anenzyme that catalyzes thechemical reaction :UDP-2-acetamido-4-amino-2,4,6-trideoxyglucose + 2-oxoglutarate UDP-2-acetamido-4-dehydro-2,6-dideoxyglucose + L-glutamate
Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are
UDP-2-acetamido-4-amino-2,4,6-trideoxyglucose and2-oxoglutarate , whereas its two products areUDP-2-acetamido-4-dehydro-2,6-dideoxyglucose 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 UDP-2-acetamido-4-amino-2,4,6-trideoxyglucose:2-oxoglutarate aminotransferase. Other names in common use include uridine diphospho-4-amino-2-acetamido-2,4,6-trideoxyglucose, and aminotransferase. It employs one cofactor,pyridoxal phosphate .References
