EC 2.6.1.117 Details
EC number
2.6.1.117
Accepted name
L-glutamine—4-(methylsulfanyl)-2-oxobutanoate aminotransferase
Reaction
L-glutamine + 4-(methylsulfanyl)-2-oxobutanoate = 2-oxoglutaramate + L-methionine
Other name(s)
mtnE (gene name), Solyc11g013170.1 (locus name)
Systematic name
L-glutamine:4-(methylsulfanyl)-2-oxobutanoate aminotransferase
Comment
A pyridoxal-phosphate protein. The enzyme, found in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes, catalyses the last reaction in a methionine salvage pathway. In mammals this activity is catalysed by the multifunctional glutamine transaminase K (cf. EC 2.6.1.64, glutamine—phenylpyruvate transaminase).
