	2.6.1.35
Description	Glycine--oxaloacetate aminotransferase
Alternative names	Glycine--oxaloacetate aminotransferase; Aspartate--glyoxylate aminotransferase.
Catalyzed reaction	Glycine + oxaloacetate = glyoxylate + L-aspartate.
Cofactor	Pyridoxal-phosphate.
	Although the reaction between glyoxylate and L-aspartate is reversible, the equilibrium constant strongly favors glycine formation. L-serine can replace L-aspartate as a substrate.
Organisms	-Eubacteria
