Comments
A pyridoxal-phosphate protein. Aspartate can also act as the amino donor, but more slowly (cf. EC?2.6.1.78, aspartate¡ªprephenate aminotransferase). The enzyme from higher plants shows a marked preference for prephenate as substrate compared to pyruvate, phenylpyruvate or 4-hydroxyphenylpyruvate [1].
