EC 2.6.1.16 Details
EC number
2.6.1.16
Accepted name
glutamine—fructose-6-phosphate transaminase (isomerizing)
Reaction
L-glutamine + D-fructose 6-phosphate = L-glutamate + D-glucosamine 6-phosphate
Other name(s)
hexosephosphate aminotransferase, glucosamine-6-phosphate isomerase (glutamine-forming), glutamine-fructose-6-phosphate transaminase (isomerizing), D-fructose-6-phosphate amidotransferase, glucosaminephosphate isomerase, glucosamine 6-phosphate synthase, GlcN6P synthase
Systematic name
L-glutamine:D-fructose-6-phosphate isomerase (deaminating)
CAS registry number
9030-45-9
Comment
Although the overall reaction is that of a transferase, the mechanism involves the formation of ketimine between fructose 6-phosphate and a 6-amino group from a lysine residue at the active site, which is subsequently displaced by ammonia (transamidination).
