2.6.1.1
Description Aspartate aminotransferase
Alternative names Transaminase A;
Glutamic--oxaloacetic transaminase;
Glutamic--aspartic transaminase;
AspAT;
GOT.
Catalyzed reaction L-aspartate + 2-oxoglutarate = oxaloacetate + L-glutamate.
Cofactor Pyridoxal-phosphate.
Comments -!- Also acts on L-tyrosine, L-phenylalanine and L-tryptophan. This activity can be formed from EC 2.6.1.57 by controlled proteolysis.
Subfamily a includes eukariotic enzymes (both cytosolic and organellar).

Subfamily b encompasses proteins from gram-positive bacteria and from archaea.

Subfamily c is a compact subgroup including the E. coli AAT and other enzymes from proteobacteria.

Subfamily d represents a very distinct subgroup of bacterial enzymes based on the functionally validated sequence from Corynebacterium glutamicum.

Subfamily e is yet another very distinct group, including enzymes from thermophilic Archaea and from Eubacteria.

Subfamily f (distantly related to subfamily b) is based on a very divergent sequence from Bacillus.
