2.6.1.27
Description Tryptophan aminotransferase
Catalyzed reaction L-tryptophan + 2-oxoglutarate = indole-3-pyruvate + L-glutamate.
Cofactor Pyridoxal-phosphate.
Comments -!- Also acts on 5-hydroxytryptophan and, to a lesser extent on the phenyl amino acids.
The activity overlaps substantially with that of aromatic amino acid aminotransferase (2.6.1.57).
The tryptophan aminotransferases from plants produce indole-3-pyruvate used for the auxin biosynthetic pathway.
