ENZYME entry: EC 2.6.1.125

PURL: https://purl.expasy.org/enzyme/EC/2.6.1.125
Accepted Name
L-arginine:2-oxoglutarate transaminase
Alternative Name(s)
arginine-alpha-ketoglutarate transaminase
Reaction catalysed
L-arginine + 2-oxoglutarate = 5-guanidino-2-oxopentanoate + L-glutamate
Comment(s)
  • Requires pyridoxal 5'-phosphate.
  • The enzyme, characterized from several bacterial species, is known to participate in L-arginine degradation and in the biosynthesis of the rare amino acid (3R)-3-methyl-L-arginine.
  • The enzyme from Streptomyces arginensis also catalyzes the activity of EC 2.6.1.126.
