2.6.1.64 |
Description |
Glutamine--phenylpyruvate aminotransferase |
Alternative names |
Glutamine transaminase K. |
Catalyzed reaction |
L-glutamine + phenylpyruvate = 2-oxoglutaramate + L-phenylalanine. |
Cofactor |
Pyridoxal-phosphate. |
Comments |
-!- L-methionine, L-histidine and L-tyrosine can act as donors. -!- Has little activity on pyruvate and glyoxylate (cf. EC 2.6.1.15). |
|
Documented enzymes with this function also show kynurenine aminotransferase (EC 2.6.1.7) and cysteine-conjugate beta-lyase (EC 4.4.1.13) activities. These sequences have been included in the 2.6.1.7 family.
In E. coli, the transamination of glutamine is apparently carried out by aspartate aminotransferase (2.6.1.1). |
