2.6.1.1 |
Description |
Aspartate aminotransferase |
Alternative names |
Transaminase A; Glutamic--oxaloacetic transaminase; Glutamic--aspartic transaminase; AspAT; GOT. |
Catalyzed reaction |
L-aspartate + 2-oxoglutarate = oxaloacetate + L-glutamate. |
Cofactor |
Pyridoxal-phosphate. |
Comments |
-!- Also acts on L-tyrosine, L-phenylalanine and L-tryptophan. This activity can be formed from EC 2.6.1.57 by controlled proteolysis. |

Subfamily a includes eukariotic enzymes (both cytosolic and organellar).
Subfamily b encompasses proteins from gram-positive bacteria and from archaea.
Subfamily c is a compact subgroup including the E. coli AAT and other enzymes from proteobacteria.
Subfamily d represents a very distinct subgroup of bacterial enzymes based on the functionally validated sequence from Corynebacterium glutamicum.
Subfamily e is yet another very distinct group, including enzymes from thermophilic Archaea and from Eubacteria.
Subfamily f (distantly related to subfamily b) is based on a very divergent sequence from Bacillus. |
