EC 2.6.1.22 Details
EC number
2.6.1.22
Accepted name
(S)-3-amino-2-methylpropionate transaminase
Reaction
(S)-3-amino-2-methylpropanoate + 2-oxoglutarate = 2-methyl-3-oxopropanoate + L-glutamate
Other name(s)
L-3-aminoisobutyrate transaminase, β-aminobutyric transaminase, L-3-aminoisobutyric aminotransferase, β-aminoisobutyrate-α-ketoglutarate transaminase
Systematic name
(S)-3-amino-2-methylpropanoate:2-oxoglutarate aminotransferase
CAS registry number
9031-95-2
Comment
Also acts on β-alanine and other ω-amino acids having carbon chains between 2 and 5. The two enantiomers of the 2-methyl-3-oxopropanoate formed by the enzyme interconvert by enolization, so that this enzyme, together with EC 2.6.1.40, (R)-3-amino-2-methylpropionate—pyruvate transaminase, provide a route for interconversion of the enantiomers of 3-amino-2-methylpropanoate.
