	2.6.1.70
Description	Aspartate--phenylpyruvate aminotransferase.
Catalyzed reaction	L-aspartate + phenylpyruvate = oxaloacetate + L-phenylalanine.
Cofactor	Pyridoxal-phosphate.
Comments	-!- The enzyme from P.putida also acts on 4-hydroxyphenylpyruvate and, more slowly, on L-glutamate and L-histidine.
Organisms	-Bacteria
