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.
