EC 2.6.1.96 Details
EC number
2.6.1.96
Accepted name
4-aminobutyrate—pyruvate transaminase
Reaction
(1) 4-aminobutanoate + pyruvate = succinate semialdehyde + L-alanine;;(2) 4-aminobutanoate + glyoxylate = succinate semialdehyde + glycine
Other name(s)
aminobutyrate aminotransferase (ambiguous), γ-aminobutyrate aminotransaminase (ambiguous), γ-aminobutyrate transaminase (ambiguous), γ-aminobutyric acid aminotransferase (ambiguous), γ-aminobutyric acid pyruvate transaminase, γ-aminobutyric acid transaminase (ambiguous), γ-aminobutyric transaminase (ambiguous), 4-aminobutyrate aminotransferase (ambiguous), 4-aminobutyric acid aminotransferase (ambiguous), aminobutyrate transaminase (ambiguous), GABA aminotransferase (ambiguous), GABA transaminase (ambiguous), GABA transferase (ambiguous), POP2 (gene name)
Systematic name
4-aminobutanoate:pyruvate aminotransferase
Comment
Requires pyridoxal 5′-phosphate. The enzyme is found in plants that do not have the 2-oxoglutarate dependent enzyme (cf. EC 2.6.1.19). The reaction with pyruvate is reversible while the reaction with glyoxylate only takes place in the forward direction.
