2.6.1.111
Description	3-aminobutanoyl-CoA transaminase
Alternative names	acetoacetyl-CoA transaminase; kat (gene name); pucG (gene name);
Catalyzed reaction	3-aminobutanoyl-CoA + 2-oxoglutarate = acetoacetyl-CoA + L-glutamate
Cofactor	Pyridoxal phosphate.
Comments	-!- The enzyme, found in bacteria, is part of a L-lysine degradation pathway. -!- The enzyme is also active with other beta-amino compounds such as 3-amino-5-methylhexanoyl-CoA and 3-amino-3-phenylpropanoyl-CoA.
	-!- Characterization of an amminotransferate derived from a metagenome. This enzyme may be used in a variant route for lysine fermentation.
