2.6.1.2	L-alanine + 2-oxoglutarate	-	
2.6.1.2	L-alanine + 2-oxoglutarate	important function in beta-alanine metabolism	
2.6.1.2	L-alanine + 2-oxoglutarate	mitochondrial isoenzyme shows higher affinity for L-alanine, mainly functions in the direction of conversion of alanine to pyruvate whereas the cytosolic isoenzyme would function in both directions	
2.6.1.2	additional information	the acetylpolyamine amidohydrolase regulator alanine transaminase and racemase coupled with SpuC, the major putrescine-pyruvate transaminase, are key components to maintaining alanine homeostasis. The alanine-pyruvate cycle is indispensable for polyamine utilization, corresponding mutant strains are severely hampered in polyamine utilization, overview
