2.6.1.55 |
Description |
Taurine aminotransferase |
Alternative names |
taurine:2-oxoglutarate aminotransferase |
Catalyzed reaction |
Taurine + 2-oxoglutarate = sulfoacetaldehyde + L-glutamate. |
Cofactor |
Pyridoxal-phosphate. |
Comments |
-!- Also acts on D L-3-aminoisobutanoate, beta-alanine and 3-aminopropanesulfonate.
-!- Involved in the microbial utilization of b-alanine.
