| Synonyms | BcaT, BCAT4, branched-chain amino acid aminotransferase, branched-chain aminotransferase4, KMAT, methionine aminotransferase, TyrAT, tyrosine aminotransferase, YbdL |
| EC Number | 2.6.1.88 |
| CAS Registry Number | |
| Comments | The enzyme is most active with?L-methionine. It participates in the?L-methionine salvage pathway from?S-methyl-5′-thioadenosine, a by-product of polyamine biosynthesis. The enzyme from the bacterium?Klebsiella pneumoniae?can use several different amino acids as amino donor, with aromatic amino acids being the most effective [1]. The enzyme from the plant?Arabidopsis thaliana?is also a part of the chain elongation pathway in the biosynthesis of methionine-derived glucosinolates [3]. |
