	2.6.1.58
Description	Phenylalanine(histidine) aminotransferase.
Catalyzed reaction	L-phenylalanine + pyruvate = phenylpyruvate + L-alanine.
Cofactor	Pyridoxal-phosphate.
Comments	-!- L-histidine and L-tyrosine can act instead of L-phenylalanine, in the reverse reaction, L-methionine, l-serine and L-glutamine can replace L-alanine.
	A phenylalanine transaminase from Pseudomonas (Paracoccus) denitrificans has been later classified as an aromatic amino acid aminotransferase (EC 2.6.1.57) and is included in family 2.6.1.57_a.
Organisms	-Metazoa -Human
