EC 2.6.1.21 Details
EC number
2.6.1.21
Accepted name
D-amino-acid transaminase
Reaction
D-alanine + 2-oxoglutarate = pyruvate + D-glutamate
Other name(s)
D-aspartate transaminase, D-alanine aminotransferase, D-aspartic aminotransferase, D-alanine-D-glutamate transaminase, D-alanine transaminase, D-amino acid aminotransferase
Systematic name
D-alanine:2-oxoglutarate aminotransferase
CAS registry number
37277-85-3
Comment
A pyridoxal-phosphate protein. The enzyme from thermophilic Bacillus species acts on many D-amino acids with D-alanine and D-2-aminobutyrate as the best amino donors. It can similarly use any of several 2-oxo acids as amino acceptor, with 2-oxoglutarate and 2-oxobutyrate among the best. The enzyme from some other sources has a broader specificity [6].
