ENZYME entry: EC 2.6.1.21

PURL: https://purl.expasy.org/enzyme/EC/2.6.1.21
Accepted Name
D-amino-acid transaminase
Alternative Name(s)
D-alanine aminotransferase
D-alanine-D-glutamate transaminase
D-alanine transaminase
D-amino acid aminotransferase
D-amino acid transaminase
D-aspartate aminotransferase
D-aspartate transaminase
D-aspartic aminotransferase
Reaction catalysed
D-alanine + 2-oxoglutarate = D-glutamate + pyruvate
Comment(s)
  • The enzyme from thermophilic Bacillus species acts on many D-amino acids with D-alanine and D-2-aminobutyrate as the best amino donors.
  • It can similarly use any of several 2-oxo acids as amino acceptor, with 2-oxoglutarate and 2-oxobutyrate among the best.
  • The enzyme from some other sources has a broader specificity.
  • Formerly EC 2.6.1.10.
