Aspartate—phenylpyruvate transaminase
Template:Infobox enzyme In enzymology, an aspartate-phenylpyruvate transaminase (Template:EC number) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction
- L-aspartate + phenylpyruvate oxaloacetate + L-phenylalanine
Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are L-aspartate and phenylpyruvate, whereas its two products are oxaloacetate and L-phenylalanine.
This enzyme belongs to the family of transferases, specifically the transaminases, which transfer nitrogenous groups. The systematic name of this enzyme class is L-aspartate:phenylpyruvate aminotransferase. This enzyme is also called aspartate-phenylpyruvate aminotransferase.
