	2.6.1.55
Description	Taurine aminotransferase
Alternative names	taurine:2-oxoglutarate aminotransferase
Catalyzed reaction	Taurine + 2-oxoglutarate = sulfoacetaldehyde + L-glutamate.
Cofactor	Pyridoxal-phosphate.
Comments	-!- Also acts on D L-3-aminoisobutanoate, beta-alanine and 3-aminopropanesulfonate. -!- Involved in the microbial utilization of b-alanine.
	The activity is documented only in bacteria, and appears to be distinct from taurine-pyruvate aminotransferase (EC 2.6.1.77)
Organisms	-Eubacteria
