ID   2.6.1.125
DE   L-arginine:2-oxoglutarate transaminase.
AN   arginine-alpha-ketoglutarate transaminase.
CA   L-arginine + 2-oxoglutarate = 5-guanidino-2-oxopentanoate + L-glutamate.
CC   -!- Requires pyridoxal 5'-phosphate.
CC   -!- The enzyme, characterized from several bacterial species, is known to
CC       participate in L-arginine degradation and in the biosynthesis of the
CC       rare amino acid (3R)-3-methyl-L-arginine.
CC   -!- The enzyme from Streptomyces arginensis also catalyzes the activity
CC       of EC 2.6.1.126.
