2.6.1.57
Description Aromatic amino acid transaminase
Catalyzed reaction An aromatic amino acid + 2-oxoglutarate = an aromatic oxo acid + L-glutamate.
Cofactor Pyridoxal-phosphate.
Comments -!- L-methionine can also act as donor, more slowly.
-!- Oxaloacetate can act as acceptor.
-!- Controlled proteolysis converts the enzyme to EC 2.6.1.1. include 2.6.1.5
Often enzymes with this activity are related to aspartate aminotransferase enzymes (EC 2.6.1.1).

Sequences in family a are most similar to aspartate aminotransferases in families 2.6.1.1_a and 2.6.1.1_c.

Sequences in family b are most similar to enzymes belonging to family 2.6.1.1_b.

At variance with the above, sequences in family c are most similar to histidinol phosphate aminotransferases, family 2.6.1.9.

A yeast gene encoding a transaminase with broad substrate specificity is sometimes annotated as aromatic aminoacid aminotransferase, but it apparently prefers 2-aminoadipate as a substrate and is included in family 2.6.1.39_a.
