2.6.1.22 |
Description |
(S)-3-amino-2-methylpropionate aminotransferase |
Alternative names |
L-3-aminoisobutyrate aminotransferase. |
Catalyzed reaction |
(S)-3-amino-2-methylpropanoate + 2-oxoglutarate = 2-methyl-3-oxopropanoate + L-glutamate |
Cofactor |
Pyridoxal-phosphate. |
Comments |
-!- Also acts on beta-alanine and other omega-amino acids having carbon chains between 2 and 5.
-!- Not identical with EC 2.6.1.40. |
|
The activity has been described in metazoa. In rat liver, the enzyme seems to be identical to beta-alanine-oxo-glutarate aminotransferase (GABA transaminase; EC 2.6.1.19). |
