2,5-diaminovalerate transaminase

Class of enzymes 2,5-diaminovalerate transaminase 2.6.1.8 9030-39-1 0047531 In enzymology, a 2,5-diaminovalerate transaminase (2.6.1.8) was a putative enzyme that would have catalyzed the chemical reaction 2,5-diaminopentanoate + 2-oxoglutarate 5-amino-2-oxopentanoate + L-glutamate Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme would have been 2,5-diaminopentanoate and 2-oxoglutarate, whereas its two products would have been 5-amino-2-oxopentanoate and L-glutamate.Class 2 · Transferases VI 2,5-Diaminovalerate transaminase Springer Handbook of Enzymes 2007 34 332–333 10.1007/978-3-540-49755-4_42 978-3-540-36509-9 The reaction however most likely does not happen. https://www.ebi.ac.uk/QuickGO/term/GO:0047531 QuickGO EMBL-EBI GO:0047531 - obsolete 2,5-diaminovalerate transaminase activity 20 June 2026 It was thought to use one cofactor, pyridoxal phosphate. Nomenclature The enzyme would have belonged to the family of transferases, specifically the transaminases, which transfer nitrogenous groups. The systematic name of this enzyme class is 2,5-diaminopentanoate:2-oxoglutarate aminotransferase. Other names in common use include diamino-acid transaminase, and diamino acid aminotransferase.
