	2.6.1.46
Description	Diaminobutyrate--pyruvate aminotransferase
Alternative names	L-diaminobutyric acid transaminase.
Catalyzed reaction	L-2,4-diaminobutanoate + pyruvate = L-aspartate 4-semialdehyde + L-alanine.
Cofactor	Pyridoxal-phosphate.
Comments	-!- Differs from EC 2.6.1.76, diaminobutyrate-2-oxoglutarate transaminase, because this enzyme uses pyruvate as the preferred amino-group acceptor.
	The few enzymes annotated in the databases (e.g. BRENDA) as diaminobutyrate-pyruvate aminotransferase can be better classified as 2.6.1.76, diaminobutyrate-2-oxoglutarate transaminase.
Organisms	-Eubacteria
