(R)-3-amino-2-methylpropionate—pyruvate transaminase

Class of enzymes (R)-3-amino-2-methylpropionate-pyruvate transaminase 2.6.1.40 37279-00-8 0047305 (R)-3-amino-2-methylpropionate—pyruvate transaminase (2.6.1.40) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction 65% Q27101849 (R)-3-aminoisobutyric acid + pyruvic acid reversible methylmalonic acid semialdehyde + alanine The two substrates of this enzyme characterised from liver are (R)-3-aminoisobutyric acid and pyruvic acid. Its products are methylmalonic acid semialdehyde and L-alanine.Kakimoto Y, Taniguchi K, Sano I 1969 D-beta-aminoisobutyrate:pyruvate aminotransferase in mammalian liver and excretion of beta-aminoisobutyrate by man J.
