show Brenda entry

EC number

2.6.1.6

Accepted name

leucine transaminase

Reaction

L-leucine + 2-oxoglutarate = 4-methyl-2-oxopentanoate + L-glutamate

Other name(s)

L-leucine aminotransferase, leucine 2-oxoglutarate transaminase, leucine aminotransferase, leucine-α-ketoglutarate transaminase

Systematic name

L-leucine:2-oxoglutarate aminotransferase

CAS registry number

9030-37-9

Comment

A pyridoxal-phosphate protein. This enzyme differs from EC 2.6.1.42, branched-chain-amino-acid transaminase, in that it does not act on L-valine or L-isoleucine, although it does act on L-methionine. The mitochondrial form from rat liver differs in physical characteristics from the cytoplasmic form.
