	2.6.1.78
Description	Aspartate--prephenate aminotransferase
Alternative names	prephenate transaminase (ambiguous); PAT (ambiguous); prephenate aspartate aminotransferase; L-aspartate:prephenate aminotransferase.
Catalyzed reaction	L-arogenate + oxaloacetate = prephenate + L-aspartate
Cofactor	Pyridoxal-phosphate.
Comments	Glutamate can also act as the amino donor, but more slowly (cf. EC 2.6.1.79, glutamate--prephenate aminotransferase).
