EC 2.6.1.5 Details
EC number
2.6.1.5
Accepted name
tyrosine transaminase
Reaction
L-tyrosine + 2-oxoglutarate = 4-hydroxyphenylpyruvate + L-glutamate
Other name(s)
tyrosine aminotransferase, glutamic-hydroxyphenylpyruvic transaminase, glutamic phenylpyruvic aminotransferase, L-phenylalanine 2-oxoglutarate aminotransferase, L-tyrosine aminotransferase, phenylalanine aminotransferase, phenylalanine transaminase, phenylalanine-α-ketoglutarate transaminase, phenylpyruvate transaminase, phenylpyruvic acid transaminase, tyrosine-α-ketoglutarate aminotransferase, tyrosine-α-ketoglutarate transaminase, tyrosine-2-ketoglutarate aminotransferase, TyrAT
Systematic name
L-tyrosine:2-oxoglutarate aminotransferase
CAS registry number
9014-55-5
Comment
A pyridoxal-phosphate protein. L-Phenylalanine can act instead of L-tyrosine. The mitochondrial enzyme may be identical with EC 2.6.1.1 (aspartate transaminase). The three isoenzymic forms are interconverted by EC 3.4.22.32 (stem bromelain) and EC 3.4.22.33 (fruit bromelain). The enzyme can also catalyse the final step in the methionine-salvage pathway of Klebsiella pneumoniae [8].
