gabt1
Description D-fructose-6-phosphate-L-glutamate transaminase (2.6.1.-)
Catalyzed reaction keto-D-fructose 6-phosphate + L-glutamate = 2-amino-2-deoxy-mannitol-6-phosphate + 2-oxoglutarate.
Cofactor Pyridoxal phosphate
Comments The enzyme gabt1 catalyzes the first step in the biosynthesis of the azasugar mannojirimycin. This compound is an intermediate in the biosynthesis of the nojirimycins, which are glycosidase inhibitors.
