Serine—glyoxylate transaminase
Template:Short description Template:Infobox enzyme In enzymology, a serine-glyoxylate transaminase (Template:EC number) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction
- L-serine + glyoxylate 3-hydroxypyruvate + glycine
Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are L-serine and glyoxylate, whereas its two products are 3-hydroxypyruvate and glycine.
This enzyme belongs to the family of transferases, specifically the transaminases, which transfer nitrogenous groups. The systematic name of this enzyme class is L-serine:glyoxylate aminotransferase. This enzyme participates in glycine, serine and threonine metabolism. It employs one cofactor, pyridoxal phosphate.
