2.6.1.64
Description Glutamine--phenylpyruvate aminotransferase
Alternative names Glutamine transaminase K.
Catalyzed reaction L-glutamine + phenylpyruvate = 2-oxoglutaramate + L-phenylalanine.
Cofactor Pyridoxal-phosphate.
Comments -!- L-methionine, L-histidine and L-tyrosine can act as donors.
-!- Has little activity on pyruvate and glyoxylate (cf. EC 2.6.1.15).
Documented enzymes with this function also show kynurenine aminotransferase (EC 2.6.1.7) and cysteine-conjugate beta-lyase (EC 4.4.1.13) activities. These sequences have been included in the 2.6.1.7 family.

In E. coli, the transamination of glutamine is apparently carried out by aspartate aminotransferase (2.6.1.1).
