Accepted Name
Tyrosine transaminase.
Alternative Name(s)
TyrAT.
Tyrosine aminotransferase.
Reaction catalysed
L-tyrosine + 2-oxoglutarate <=> 4-hydroxyphenylpyruvate + L-glutamate
Cofactor(s)
Pyridoxal 5'-phosphate.
Comment(s)
  • L-phenylalanine can act instead of L-tyrosine.
  • The mitochondrial enzyme may be identical with EC 2.6.1.1.
  • The three isoenzymic forms are interconverted by EC 3.4.22.32 and EC 3.4.22.33.
